Resumen del Editor
Lonely and naive, Arjun Mehta spends his days as a lowly assistant virus tester and pining away for his free-spirited colleague Christine. Arjun gets laid-off like so many of his Silicon Valley peers. 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.
Award-winning novelist Hari Kunzru was hailed as a "modern-day Kipling," for his bestselling debut, The Impressionist. With this exuberant follow-up, Kunzru takes an ultracontemporary turn in a stylish, playful, and wicked exploration of life at the click of a mouse.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Delectable...Mr. Kunzru writes with wry certitude and cinematic precision." (The New York Times)
"A sprawling, ambitious, shape-shifting novel...Kunzru proves himself a clever, sharply observant writer...much more than a brilliant satirist." (The Washington Post)

Historia
Corporate auditor Sam Keller, careful to a fault, has decided to live it up for a change. And what better spot for business-class hedonism than the boomtown of Dubai, where resort islands materialize from open ocean, fortunes are made overnight, and skiers crisscross the snowy slopes of a shopping mall. But when a colleague is murdered during a night on the town, Sam soon finds himself waist-deep in a bewildering, lethal mix of mobsters, prostitutes, and crooked cops.

Historia
A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.

Sometimes a man can be redeemed. But not in the way he expects. Jason Stafford is a former Wall Street hotshot who made some bad moves, paid the price with two years in prison, and is now trying to put his life back together. He’s unemployable, until an investment firm asks him to look into possible problems left by a junior trader who died recently in an accident. What he discovers is big - there are problems, all right, the kind that get you killed. But it’s not his only concern. Stafford has another quest as well: to reclaim his five-year-old son, "the Kid", from his unstable ex-wife, and then learn just what it means to make a life with him.

Days before the July Fourth holiday and the dedication of One World Trade Center at Ground Zero, an incident aboard a commercial jet flying over the Atlantic Ocean reminds everyone that vigilance is not a task to be taken lightly. But for iconoclastic NYPD detective Jeremy Fisk, it may also be a signal that there is much more to this case than the easy answer of this being just the work of another lone terrorist. Fisk suspects that the event might also be a warning sign that another scheme has been set in motion.

A complete entertaining experience
Mr. Kunzuru kept me smiling through the book. A satirical touch to technology driven immigrants, the Indian film industry, unsuccessful jargon pouting marketing geeks, venture capitalist, golf playing Arabs and the various manifestation of women in everyones lives. Thankfully, there is also a plot with many sub plots, which are quite interesting and amusing but the superb characterization and the narration is the winner. I could relate to all the characters in this book.
Only negative part about Mr. Kunzrus book is the prolonged description of places and events. While at some stages it was useful to visualize the complete scene where the protagonist lives and works to experience his escapades while at the other times the author would not relent until he had informed us about everything other than the brand of lubricating oil used for the swivel chairs in the room.
The book is well read. The author does this superbly! A cinematic experience!
This book will not disappoint anyone.

Very enjoyable
This book was a lot of fun. When I purchased the book, I wasn't sure if I could relate to the plight of Indian computer programmers. This book really draws you into the characters. The writing is skillful, and the plot engaging. Definitely worth it.

Wonderful book
This was a wonderful book ... almost a "bonfire of the vanities" for the current tech world, only with some more personal aspects. The author was a fantastic narrator, and the book was fun and exciting. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Memorable
Author Hari Kunzru tells a funny yet believable story of a virus writer who becomes a legend, with authentic sideglances into the high-tech corporate world and the experience of an immigrant to America. Not only that, he is a superlative reader, with his rendition of the hero's Indian sister's newly acquired Australian accent (which she acquires as a customer service rep to make her Australian clientele more comfortable) conveyed with hilarious yet subtle accuracy. One looks forward to more from Kunzru, who might also be a good reader of the works of others.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Presents a realistic look at the hurdles faced by technical folks trying to immigrate to the US while at the same time telling a hilarious insider story of high-tech America. The related story of the marketing people affected by the virus lets us in on the buzzword filled conversations of marketing "wizards" in which nothing is ever said that makes sense. I recommend this book to anyone who likes computer or Internet related stories.

Pleasantly Surprising Good Listen
I've forgotten how I heard of this book. It's not often mentioned on lists of recommended audiobooks. Whatever path it took to get to me, I'm glad to have found it.
What strikes me is how original the story was, how compelled I was to listen and find out what was going to happen next. Also, it felt so current, the details so relevant. All in all, one of my favorite audiobook experiences.

Entertaining yet not very memorable
I enjoyed this book and really liked the modern elements that comprise the storyline. The narrator/author is very good. I recommend this book since it's present day and very entertaining but I have to say that I can't even remember the end and I listened to it very recently. It has a great way of weaving many characters from far and near together which is such a great reminder of how small the world has become.

A light listen
The narrator, also the author, does an excellent job of reading, really telling an excellent story. He conveys a mood and emotion that ranks with the best of the narrators that I have heard.
That said, this could best be called a "light" listen. There are a lot of characters and storylines in a short 9 hr audiobook, with probably too little time devoted to any one of them.

One of the best!
This is definitely one of the best audiobooks I have listened to, and I've already gotten multiple listens out of it.

First time reviewer!
Transmission is the kind of book that reminds you why you read contemporary fiction instead of retreating to the safety of the classics. Kunzru's story is a total page-turner, but one elevated to the level of a modern fable by his amazing observations, beautiful language, and memorable characters. Digital life as filtered through the fine and ironic sensibility of a master. I hoarded the last hour, hardly wanting it to end. And Kunzru is an amazing reader, alternately Indian, English, Australian, American.....
