Transmission By Hari Kunzru

Cubicle-bound computer geeks everywhere dream of destroying the corporations that co-opt their waking hours. But unlike Kunzru's Bollywood-obsessed Indian techie, Arjun Mehta, few actually try it. Mehta sets off from Bombay for Silicon Valley only to find he's been duped: the high-flying job doesn't exist and he's trapped in low-paying drudgery.
