India Booked | The Climate Story
b'In this episode of India Booked, host Ayushi Mona talks to Rajat Chaudhuri about\\n\'The Butterfly Effect\', on how his work as a climate activist is reflected in\\nhis fiction, the necessity of "enveloping scientific ideas in a story" to make\\nit more accessible, the interconnected roles of technology, politics, public\\nhealth and the environment, especially in India, and more. Listen in for a\\nscathing yet succint breakdown of how consumption and corporate lobbies work,\\nand the role activism can play in correcting injustice. The Butterfly Effect\\nreveals a grim picture of humanity, it brings to life an eco-dystopian story\\nrevolving around the threats of technology and genetically modified crops. It\\ngoes on to show the disastrous circumstances that may befall humanity when\\nscientific experiments go horribly wrong. Humans are thus pushed into a\\nbottomless pit of dystopia and dejection; and with the theme of a pandemic\\nrunning through the narrative, it is a timely adventure story to watch out for.\\nIt simultaneously addresses classism, capitalism, extreme poverty and inequity,\\nas well as the rise of autocracy (none of which is unimaginable or restricted to\\nthe pages today).'
