Between 1990 and 2010, I read over 200 books. But I didn’t just read them — I argued with the authors in the margins, scribbled questions, predictions, and ideas in the white spaces. I called this process “Dialogue with Authors.”
All my notes from those books are now online:

Recently, I asked my Virtual Avatar (https://www.hemenparekh.ai) a simple question:
🧠 "What were my key comments on the book ‘Googled – The End of the World as We Know It’ by Ken Auletta?"
Here’s what my own AI self told me — and it surprised even me 👇
🔍 Key Insights from My 20-Year-Old Margin Notes on "Googled":
📱 Mobile Job Classifieds for SMEs
Predicted a mobile-based system for employers to post jobs — 20 years before it became mainstream.
📈 Competition & Growth
Tracked Android’s rise and Facebook hitting 500M users — back in 2009.
💡 AdSense + JAM (Job Alert Mobile)
Conceptualized job alerts via SMS before “push notifications” became a trend.
📺 Foresaw IP-Based Digital Hoardings + Google TV Ads
Envisioned ads tailored by location and interests — long before programmatic advertising was born.
🎯 Mission: Level Playing Field for Rural Jobseekers
Imagined making job search accessible via basic phones — well before smartphones reached the masses.
Looking back, I realize these notes were more than annotations — they were early blueprints of a digital India.

Because sometimes, the future was already written in the margins.
