e you to explore this remarkable debut, a book to read, reflect on, and share with others.Atta Galatta café is proud to host the soft launch of The Astra Codex, a science thriller that blends ancient wisdom with futuristic discovery. Written by Dr. Umesh Dutt, a storyteller, researcher, and seeker of the unseen. The novel invites readers into a world where mantras are more than prayers. They are codes of energy, waiting to be unlocked.
Set in 2047, the story follows Dr. Advait Sen, a resonance physicist, and Adira Bose, a gifted coder, as they join a global alliance to uncover hidden vaults beneath sacred sites. These vaults guard the Astras which are legendary instruments of consciousness that respond not to command, but to sincerity.
From Varanasi to Kailash to Antarctica, the journey is cinematic yet reflective. The antagonist is not a monster, but a concept: Nexus Helix, a network that trains AI to mimic empathy. The result is a chilling mirror of our own world, where algorithms learn emotion faster than we do.
Dr. Dutt’s writing is clear, emotional, and deeply human. He explains complex ideas through feeling, not formula. His characters carry real burdens like guilt, grief, and hope; and their discoveries are as personal as they are scientific.
At its heart, The Astra Codex is a meditation on conscience, intent, and the power of truth. It entertains, enlightens, and leaves readers with one lingering question: If your thoughts carried power, what would you awaken?
We invite you to explore this remarkable debut - a book to read, reflect on, and share with others.
