This is a book of love stories, smooth or through murky waters, all in the family, spanning generations. In the year 2090, a young Cyborg E3PO - Enhanced Emotion Efficient Protocol Officer, I say young because it had been just commissioned for service, has started living with our protagonist and is trying to make sense of the plethora of emotions that a human experiences.It starts the narrative with a flash back to 2020 where a pandemic is wrecking havoc, life seems to have been stripped of basic commodities and comfort and yet love is about to brew in the life of our protagonist's grandfather - then a young chap of just 23. E3PO introduces himself before closing the first chapter.E3PO named as Crogy then goes on swinging back and forth with each chapter dedicated to the two timelines it is dealing with. The odd chapters deal with 'grandpa-Mohit's story and the even chapter Neel's - our protagonist.The essence of the book lies in understanding the nuances of love, from a 'non-human' perspective. Crogy is an artificially intelligent robot subjected to machine learning which is the de-facto and most efficient way of gathering intel. The interesting part being it is trying to learn emotions - the most intriguing, paradoxical and definitely debatable concept. Do we want our robots to learn to emote?Crogy takes the reader through a few futuristic inventions as 2090 is expected to be a very different world in terms of housing, travelling, communication, education and public services. Emotions though, largely remain unchanged.The readers may find themselves overwhelmed by the number of characters and thus the appendix has charts with names and dates and relations for reference, after all the readers are expected to be human and not Cyborg. The characters are varied yet regular people who fill our lives as friends, family and neighbours. Crogy introduces them at different stages of the narrative as and when there is a need to, as each has some influence - positive, negative or even neutral on either Mohit or Neel.The story not only spans two time-lines it also spans continents. It spans across subsequent years in Mohit's and Neels's life before culminating at a point which Crogy designates as a new 'beginning'.This is a book full of hopes. It is bespoken to create positive vibes and a happy overtone to momentarily subdue the reigning uncertainty and panic. The aim is to create an imaginary world - a getaway.
