When most books on Artificial Intelligence sound too technical and distant for the average reader, Dr Pritam Sahoo’s Demystify Generative AI for Everyday People instantly felt different, and that difference is exactly why the book turned into a bestseller. Instead of complicated terms and endless theory, it speaks in easy language, filled with practical examples that readers from all walks of life can relate to, which is why people are picking it up and recommending it to others.
Readers love the book because it cuts through the hype. At a time when AI is presented as something futuristic and unreachable, this book shows how anyone can use it today. A shop owner looking to write better ads, a teacher planning lessons, or even a student wanting to speed up assignments can all see themselves in the pages. This connection with real life is what makes it powerful. People do not feel they are learning from a textbook; they feel they are getting guidance from a mentor who understands their struggles.
The reason Dr Sahoo wrote the book is just as important. With almost twenty years in IT and his role as a Partner Cloud Architect at Google, he could have written a book filled with technical insights meant only for experts. But he chose the opposite path, because his mission has always been to make AI accessible to ordinary people. He saw the gap between what was being promised and what people actually understood, and he wanted to close that gap with honesty and simplicity.
His TEDx talk, which went viral with over 110,000 views in two months, proved that people are hungry for simple explanations. His YouTube channel, with 10,000 subscribers and more than 240 videos, showed the same demand. The success of the book is the natural extension of this journey, because it continues his habit of making the complex easy, of turning fear into curiosity, and of showing that AI is not here to replace us but to support us.
Demystify Generative AI for Everyday People became a bestseller because it speaks directly to readers’ needs. It doesn’t overwhelm, it empowers. It doesn’t confuse, it clarifies. And above all, it doesn’t talk down to its audience, but walks beside them, reminding them that technology is most meaningful when it is simple, practical, and human. That is why people love it, and that is why the book’s popularity continues to grow.
