Abraham Thomas, a mechanical engineering graduate from Guindy and a production engineering post-graduate from Imperial College, London, brings a unique blend of technical expertise and real-world experience to his writing. His diverse background as a manufacturer of electrical equipment and a builder informs his insightful exploration of the developmental effects of urbanization in his book, The Affluence Machine. Delving into the complexities of human cognition, Thomas's writings also propose that intelligence may arise from neural pattern recognition and delve into the emotional nuances triggered by intuition.
