Publisher's Synopsis
"A superlatively smart comedy swirling around mayhem on the internet." SUNDAY TIMES From one of Granta's Best Young Novelists, 2003 Arjun Mehta heads to Silicon Valley to pursue his vision of the American dream, but when this turns sour he creates an international nightmare. The computer virus that he releases to save his job spirals out of control, wreaking chaos on a global scale. Arjun's actions begin to alter the lives of people he could only dream of reaching, from Leela Zahir, his favourite Bollywood star who is desperate for anonymity to Guy Swift, a successful marketing executive whose world is about to fall apart. Spanning three continents and the World Wide Web, TRANSMISSION is both funny and frightening in its depiction of modern life.
