Welcome to my site!

Here, you will find reviews of the books I read, along with my insights and afterthoughts — which I like to call Beyond the Pages.

I’ve always been an avid reader, but I’ve realized that only a few books stay with me in detail — where I can recall their stories, and describe how they impacted me. Many of these, were books we read in school and wrote summaries for.

So, in 2019, I decided to start writing reviews as a way to remember what I read and why I liked them. Over time, I began adding my personal insights and reflections to each review. Also writing these reviews has also helped me see how my ideas evolve and change, with each new book and new thing I learn. The more I read, the more I realize how much there still is to know. The books I have reviewed on this page are non-fictional. I don’t consider myself much of a writer, but I believe I can learn to be one, so here I begin. Through my reviews, insights, and personal stories, I hope to offer you a glimpse into how I see the world. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.

Happy Reading!

Do it like a Woman - and change the world

Author: Caroline Criado Perez Publication Date: October 2019
2025-03-21 1 min read Sincheenz
This book is a compilation of stories highlighting remarkable women from around the world and their continuous efforts toward achieving equality. It serves as a megaphone for these incredible women and their ongoing work to create a more equitable world. It reminds us that by merely accepting, ignoring, and moving on, we undermine the actions and sacrifices of these remarkable individuals. The book encourages us not to feel ashamed to speak up, affirming that we are not the “imperfect men,” as Aristotle once described women, but unique entities capable of making this world a better place, and without whom humanity would cease to exist.

Nexus - A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Author: Yuval Noah Harari Publication Date: September 2024
2025-03-20 2 min read Sincheenz
I did the audio version of the book. Yuval Harari is an excellent storyteller and always leaves you with an afterthought. Nexus is meant to be a reflection on where humanity is heading, especially with the rise of AI, disinformation, and global instability. But to be honest, I didn’t enjoy it as much. It felt like a lot of repetition and basically a recap of his earlier books. The same themes from Sapiens and Homo Deus kept popping up, just re-worded. Continue reading

Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology

Author: Chris Miller Publication Date: October 2022
2025-02-20 3 min read Sincheenz
Initially promoted by the U.S. military after World War II to stay ahead of the Soviets in the arms race, semiconductors later became commercialized and embedded in our everyday gadgets. The journey of chip technology is truly fascinating. While innovation and advancements have surged, so have the choke points. This technology has driven globalization and progress, yet it’s unsettling to realize how few companies control such a critical industry. The invention of the transistor by physicists like Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain, and its commercialization by pioneers like Noyce, Moore, Kilby, and others, is a remarkable story.

The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma

Author: Mustafa Suleyman, Michael Bhaskar Publication Date: September 2023
2025-02-04 3 min read Sincheenz
Last month, I reviewed a book called AI Snake Oil, published in September 2024, which discusses the hype surrounding AI and argues that the distrust and fear expressed by several prominent figures and scientists are unwarranted. This book, The Coming Wave, was written a year earlier, in September 2023. After exploring both sides of the argument—one dismissing AI as unlikely to become all-consuming, more intelligent, or more capable than humans, and the other outlining various use cases where things could spiral out of control—I find both perspectives valid.
