What shapes the way we see the world? Is it the stories we watch, the technology we build, or the conversations we have?We live in an age where films influence public imagination, algorithms curate our realities, and communication has become the currency of trust, power and change. In this rapidly evolving landscape, understanding the world requires more than simply keeping pace with events-it demands a deeper understanding of the narratives that shape them.What We Choose to See brings together a thought-provoking collection of essays that explore the intersections of cinema, artificial intelligence and communication. Moving seamlessly from the changing language of Indian cinema and global storytelling to the ethical frontiers of AI, public diplomacy, governance and strategic communication, the book examines how ideas are created, contested and ultimately accepted.Written with insight, curiosity and a distinctly Indian perspective, these essays invite readers to look beyond the headlines and ask larger questions about perception, technology, culture and society. Rather than offering definitive answers, the authors encourage thoughtful dialogue in a world increasingly defined by noise and information overload.Insightful, timely and deeply relevant, What We Choose to See is for anyone who believes that understanding the future begins with understanding the stories we choose to tell-and the ones we choose to believe.
