What readers say
Reviews shared by readers on Amazon.
“A very insightful and timely book, especially for teens growing up in today’s AI-driven world. The Invisible Score explains how AI, data, and algorithms quietly influence our daily choices, opportunities, and decisions in a clear and engaging way. It is easy to understand, thought-provoking, and highly relevant for young readers and adults alike. Highly recommended!”
“The Invisible Score is a fascinating and thought-provoking read that makes complex topics like AI, algorithms, data privacy, and algorithmic bias easy to understand through an engaging story. Instead of feeling like a technology textbook, it follows Maya’s journey in a way that keeps you invested while encouraging you to think critically about how invisible systems influence our daily lives. The writing is accessible, the characters are relatable, and the message is highly relevant for today’s world.”
“Great book for teenagers and students. The story of Maya is really interesting — engaging from the start and easy to follow, even when it touches on serious ideas about technology.”
“This is an excellent book for anyone curious about artificial intelligence and its growing influence in our daily lives. It’s definitely worth your time. The content is remarkably well-articulated, and Subhasit Sir deserves credit for presenting such complex concepts in an accessible, easy-to-understand manner.”
“Such a relevant book for both kids and parents. Very fun and intriguing. Would recommend to all young ones looking to expand their views on AI and how it’s helping us shape the society around us. Phenomenal!”
This idea started at home
“This story started at home.
One evening, my children asked me, ‘How does YouTube always know what I want to watch next?’
That simple question stayed with me. Over time, it slowly became this book.”
I didn’t know it then, but that simple question stayed with me for a long time. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that these invisible systems quietly shape many of our everyday decisions, yet most of us never really get the chance to understand them. That realization became the starting point for this book.
Instead of writing a textbook, I wanted to tell a story. Through Maya’s journey, my hope is that readers become a little more curious, ask a few more questions, and look at the digital world around them with fresh eyes.
If this book encourages even one young person to think more critically, stay curious, and feel a little more confident about the technology shaping their future, then I’ll feel it has achieved exactly what I hoped it would.
