Dr. Manoj Someswar Gelli isn’t the kind of teacher who hides behind heavy jargon or long PowerPoint slides. He’s one of those rare people who can explain a tricky idea without making you feel like you’ve just sat through a lecture. For him, technology isn’t here to replace people, it’s here to make life better. His background is rooted in science, but it’s not all lab coats and formulas. Over the years, he’s developed a knack for spotting the small ways machines are creeping into our daily routines, sometimes quietly, sometimes in ways you can’t miss. And he’s made it his mission to help students, teachers, and even the casual reader see these changes without feeling overwhelmed. He mixes the real world with a bit of storytelling, so you don’t just read about robotics and automation as cold, distant inventions, you get to see them as tools, with all the responsibility that comes along. That mix comes from experience: years in academia paired with hands-on work in practical settings. This book was born from curiosity and a stubborn belief that education should be accessible, not intimidating. Dr. Gelli wrote it with all kinds of readers in mind, high schoolers wondering what’s next, busy teachers trying to keep up, professionals looking for an edge, and even parents curious about the world their kids are growing into. When he’s not teaching or writing, you might spot him quietly watching the everyday world, maybe a factory floor, maybe a grocery store checkout, just noticing how much of our life is being shaped by machines. And more importantly, thinking about how we can steer that change in a way that’s wise, fair, and human.
