Discussion session on Role of Science Fiction for Sustainability" at IIC Annexe, New Delhi


Lucy and the Train is a journey of the self that leads to sustainability. Narrating the conflict within self, surroundings, and imagination, it captures the symbolism expressed by René Descartes through his words “I think therefore I am”. The story takes the reader on a surreal journey of sustainability by weaving a complex yet beautiful tapestry of human mind, relationships, and environment.
