Sunil Mishra is a software professional with over two decades of experience in the field of technology. He is truly enamored of evolving new technologies and their impact on our daily and work lives. He loves to travel and so far traveled to more than 30 countries across six continents.
CornerShelf: Tell us something about yourself?(childhood memory,
schooling, professional life, interests, hobbies).
Sunil: I grew up in a relatively small city, Bokaro Steel City in Jharkhand. My initial days were more focused on studies though I liked playing football and little of writing here and there. I did my engineering from ISM Dhanbad and MBA from IIM Lucknow. For last 20 years I have worked with multiple companies including Infosys, Accenture, McKinsey, Oracle and Tisco.
I developed some interest in travelling which was the basis of my first book "Transit Lounge" - a travel account of 30 countries.
CornerShelf: Which is your first and/or most precious memory of books?
Sunil: My early memory of books is all on academics. I was not an avid reader during my study days. I started reading novels very recently. One of the early books I read was "Nirmala" by Premchand.
CornerShelf: What inspired you to write your latest book 'WHO STOLE MY JOB', is this personal experience?
Sunil: I am actively exposed to the field of technology and the disruption it is facing. This is not only affecting our work lives but redefining what it means to be human in the age of artificial intelligence and automation.
The future of work is going to be different for all of us. This is a very interesting topic that inspired me to write a story like that. The story is not a personal account.
CornerShelf: If given a chance to ask a question to an author, whom would you like to ask and what would be the question?
Sunil: I recently read a book Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark. It talks about the third generation of life in the age of technology. I found the book very interesting.
The question that I would ask him is the same as the title of my book -"Who Stole My Job"
CornerShelf: How do you accept negative feedback?
Sunil: I read almost every review comment buy the readers. They really provide good third person perspective. I really feel good when some readers refer to the book quotes. For me any constructive criticism is more of an opportunity to improve upon. Writing is a process that needs constant improvements.
CornerShelf: How long were you writing before before you published the book?
Sunil: Almost 1 year of writing and another 1 year of publishing
CornerShelf: A few words for our readers.
Sunil: I want to thank readers for the interest in my book and kind words of reviews. I am myself an avid reader though I started late. Reading books in general could be one of the most enriching experience.
I am really amazed to see that even in this age of shrinking attention spans the number of book lovers are growing instead. Hope it keeps growing.
