Turbulence

Aman Sen is smart young ambitious and going nowhere. He thinks this is because he doesn't have the right connections--but then he gets off a plane from London to Delhi and discovers that he has turned into a communications demigod. Indeed everyone on Aman's flight now has extraordinary abilities corresponding to their innermost desires.. Vir a pilot can now fly.. Uzma an aspiring Bollywood actress now possesses infinite charisma.. And then there's Jai an indestructible one-man army with a good old-fashioned goal -- to rule the world!. Aman wants to ensure that their new powers aren't wasted on costumed crime-fighting celebrity endorsements or reality television. He wants to heal the planet but with each step he takes he finds helping some means harming others. Will it all end as 80 years of superhero fiction suggest in a meaningless explosive slugfest?. Turbulence features the 21st-century Indian subcontinent in all its insane glory--F-16s Bollywood radical religious parties nuclear plants cricket terrorists luxury resorts crazy TV shows -- but it is essentially about two very human questions. How would you feel if you actually got what you wanted? And what would you do if you could really change the world?
