TRANSMISSION

South Asian techno-geek Arjun Mehta can hardly believe his luck when he lands a Silicon Valley job as a software virus tester. However, when he’s abruptly downsized, his green card expires, and he must return home. In desperation he releases a destructive global virus that he hopes will save his job. His naiveté turns to astonishment and panic when he discovers international authorities in hot pursuit. Hari Kunzru has the remarkable ability to write a unique and well-timed story AND narrate it with spot-on performance power. His escapade spans the continent with twists and turns reminiscent of a Hitchcock thriller. B.J.P. 2005 Audie Award Finalist © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE/JULY 05]
