Book Review — 11 Oracles by Anish Kanjilal

It studies the core nature of humans that advanced and progressed with passage of time, however, remained morally claustrophobic under the veil of ignorance and illusions. Through references from Greek and other mythological sources, the book builds a strong scaffold of narration.
The book says it loudly that humans have remained ignorant ever since the dawn of their civilization. We are evolving but with no moral conscience. Each step, each move ingrained in the façade of modern feat is nothing but a shift towards ruination and obliteration. The book boasts of its original wisdom, underlying message for humanity.
