Book Description:
This book offers a fragmented history of the present, focusing on the history of modernity. Rather than presenting a holistic narrative, it weaves together various perspectives on different aspects of contemporary life. The book touches upon Bengali society, culture, philosophy, and politics, offering new theoretical interpretations. Readers can approach the book in two ways—either as a series of short, disjointed essays or as a long-form analysis of modern life. Regardless of the approach, the book promises to engage and enlighten its readers.
