The book reinforces that the danger of online child abuse is near, and remains invisible and can at any moment overthrow the peace that a family enjoys. The book, launched in August in English, Hindi as well as Malayalam, soon became a bestseller.

"We are travelling at super high speed into this unknown future; digital revolution that gives children access to information, connect us all and help us understand each other better. But evil has access to all of the same technology tools that we do. Remember that your child don’t just connect with good people but they connect with the bad people too," the author said about the book.
