"In this era of fleeting attention spans and our addiction to micro messaging platforms like Twitter and Instagram, history is still that odd subject that makes readers search information haystacks for a needle of insight. This is because normal history books take a worm's eye view -- delving into minute historical details.
"My book 'World History in 3 Points' takes a bird's eye view of history -- a broad, to-the-point-approach. I try cutting through details, simplifying complexities, distilling them into summaries," debutant author Sangeeth told PTI.
