Possibly the most relevant book of our times, it is a riveting account of how air pollution in India is an invisible killer, disproportionately affecting the poor and vulnerable.
I wept several times reading this book. It shocked me to my core. It has made me obsessively keep track of air quality levels in places where all my loved ones live. As Jyoti fittingly puts it, once you know how lethal air pollution is, you can never un-know it.
The book's meticulously curated and hard-hitting facts punched a hole through my optimism about the environment. Yet, it has also armed me with unparalleled learning and valuable tools, which I believe would eventually help me regain the same.
Highly recommend this book to anyone seeking clarity on the quality of air we breathe, the people fighting against dirty air and how we can all better equip ourselves. After all, "from an air pollution perspective, we are all offenders and we are all victims."
