From award-winning writer Hari Kunzru comes Transmission,
a brilliant, seductive comedy of love and lunacy

Indian computer programmer Arjun Mehta spends his days as a lowly assistant
virus tester in California, pining away for his free-spirited colleague Christine—
until he gets laid-off like so many of his Silicon Valley peers. In an act of utter
desperation to keep his job, he releases a mischievous but destructive virus
that has major unintended consequences. As world order begins to unravel, so
does Arjun's sanity, in a rollicking cataclysm that reaches Europe, Bollywood,
and, not so coincidentally, the glamorous star of Arjun's favorite movie.
