What should progress look like in a country being transformed by technology, aspiration and demographic change?

In this Network Capital conversation, Kiran Karnik reflects on his new book, Dusk or Dawn? 
Essays on India and the Emerging Tomorrow.

Drawing on a career spanning India's space programme, broadcasting and the technology industry, Karnik brings a long view to urgent questions. His essays examine what artificial intelligence could mean for work and learning, how migration and ageing are changing family life, why cities struggle to meet basic needs, and how status shapes our ambitions. Running through the book is a larger question: how can technological and economic change translate into a better everyday life?
