Your CV is lying to you

Not about your qualifications. Not about your experience. Those are real. It's lying about what they're worth tomorrow.
Drishti Kohli's debut book The Invisible Cliff is one of those rare reads that makes you look at something deeply familiar - your career, your expertise, the professional identity you've spent years constructing and see it in an unsettling new light.
Her argument isn't that AI is coming for everyone. It's more specific than that, and more uncomfortable. The workers most exposed right now aren't the ones who coasted. They're the ones who committed. The specialists. The people who went deep into one domain because that's what every sensible piece of career advice told them to do. Kohli calls what's waiting for them the invisible cliff; a point of no return that looks, from the outside, exactly like solid ground.
What makes the book stick is that it doesn't stop at the diagnosis. Kohli proposes a different way of building a career, wide enough to survive the shift, deep enough to stay relevant. Not a career pivot. A career posture.
She writes from the inside as someone who works in compliance and financial risk, two of the fields where AI is already rewriting job descriptions in real time. That practitioner's eye gives the book a credibility that purely academic treatments of this subject often lack.
It's a short book. It asks a big question. And it's one most professionals in knowledge work probably can't afford to ignore.
The Invisible Cliff by Drishti Kohli is available now on Amazon and Flipkart.
