The award-winning writer of White Tears and Blue Ruin takes an ultra-contemporary turn with the story of an Indian computer programmer whose luxurious fantasies about life in America are shaken when he accepts a California job offer. . Lonely and naïve Arjun spends his days as a lowly assistant virus-tester pining away for his free-spirited colleague Christine. Arjun gets laid off like so many of his Silicon Valley peers and in an act of desperation to keep his job he releases a mischievous but destructive virus around the globe that has major unintended consequences. As world order unravels so does Arjun’s sanity in a rollicking cataclysm that reaches Bollywood and not so coincidentally the glamorous star of Arjun’s favorite Indian movie.
