Good book, nice clean humor, makes you crack up!

Great book, love it! It's hilarious! I could not stop giggling, I cracked up page after page. Really Nice!

And so many nice photographs. I felt I was traveling with the author, no, I was him, feeling his ambitions, his surprise, excitement and pain. And what a brave soul! He (yes, despite its claims to have been written by an AI program, this book is written by a loving, feeling, breathing human for sure!)--He is able to maintain his sense of humor even as he moves from one place to another, faces one set back after another! He always comes back!

Wow! What a story!!

Great book, transcends genres to combine humor, photo-travelogue, a moving love story, memoirs, philosophy and a touch of Sci-Fi

This book transcends genres -- it's a good collection of memoirs, entertaining style, nice splash of humor, an extremely detailed travelogue with beautiful photographs, a good description of technology, a touch of Science Fiction (since it is purportedly written by a Artificial Imagination program) and suffused with philosophical musing and last but not the least, a moving love story.

Even though it's obviously written by a Technologist, the book is very human. It is primarily about the immigrant experience, but Kalpanik is extremely observant and has an eye to look for the unusual, notice what stands out and build humorous side of people, places and his own life.

Wonderful! I am specially moved by his bitter-sweet love story at the beginning.

Artful, Creative and Witty

Kalpanik blends art, craft and wit into a narrative which teaches us lessons we did not know we know.

Wonderful book! Funny, and yet very thoughtful

This book combines elements from good humor, a memoir, a scenic travelogue, a touching love story, science fiction and philosophy.

Whether you ever wondered about meaning of it all, or you want to read something light amusing, or want to see places like Seattle, San Diego, and Nashville from the eyes of the writer, or vicariously live the life of a
student at University of California, this book is for you!

The author, purportedly an Artificial Imagination computer program simulating a life/career journey through the Hi Tech and yet very scenic world of California and Washington (Settle) is witty still though down to earth and funny! The book is written in a very conversational style, as if you are reading a letter from a close friend!!

reviews: page 1, 2

This humorous photo-story is based upon the true story of a technology immigrant's life in USA. Part One has elements of a romantic comedy, with a bitter sweet ending. With the University of California campus in the background, It captures USA as seen by a newcomer, a graduate student in Computer Engineering. While trying to accommodate to his new life and new environment, he also happens to fall in love. In part two, we fast forward to 2002. Our main character has become an executive in Silicon Valley. The turbulence of the Technology bust cycle forces him to restart his journey again, and in the next five years he moves through Seattle (when he works for a world famous eCommerce company), Nashville, and finally to San Diego, where he gets caught in the infamous wildfires of 2007. The story is simultaneously funny and thoughtful. There are more than 100 high quality photographs capturing both the scenic and the feminine beauty of the places covered in the story.
