New Book Cooking

Can you make out the following words?

This is the title to the next book that I am currently working on. I have intentionally chosen a rather cryptic font for the chapter titles to reinforce the idea of its content. Not to worry, the rest of the text will be normal and readable.

Somehow, it brought to mind the recent Marvel blockbuster, Shang-Chi, which critics initially deemed to be a failure due to the anti-Sino sentiments which past Hollywood movies tend to portray. But Chinese kung-fu has a kind of attraction that is irresistible, and now coupled with cinematic effects makes it all the more appealing to the viewers of this ancient martial art form. It reminds me of the Hong Kong comic series Dragon-Tiger Gate that I grew up reading, which brought back a sense of nostalgia:

Hopefully, when this new book is released (not any time soon), readers will catch a glimpse of its aura in my writings. As I always believe, engineering books should not be dry or boring; rather, they should be engaging in a way to fire the passion and imagination of the readers, so that the learning journey is both enjoyable and enriching.

For those who have read my books, I welcome your comments and thoughts.
