The book is more like an equal parts haunted house and science fiction involving AI mixed together. It's a horror story book. If you have some recommendations of similar books, I would love them.

That's wonderful! The Upanishads are indeed a profound and integral part of Hindu philosophy, often considered the culmination of Vedic thought. They explore deep philosophical concepts such as the nature of the self (Ātman), the ultimate reality (Brahman), and the relationship between the two. Reading them can offer valuable insights into spirituality and the nature of existence.
Since you are reading the digital version, you might have access to various commentaries and interpretations, which can be helpful in understanding complex passages. If you have any specific questions or would like to discuss certain themes or ideas from the Upanishads, feel free to share!
