We are hacked already!

We come across various novels and books but there are rare times when we get addicted to the writing style of the writer and we love the way he describes and gets us addicted and we just cannot wait for him to write more!!Similar happens when you place this book in your hands…and guess what boom we are hacked!

The fact that girls find hackers a little attractive! And imagine a hacker writing a book for you and that be a Techno-psycho thriller!( Ps: hacker has got ethics!)

7 Reasons why you should read this Book

Unique and intriguing plot.

I found the plot of this novel to be super amazing that keeps you intrigued throughout. True to his words the author has totally managed to “hack the readers”. The story revolves around a hacker @v! and his friends and how they end up creating a hacking havoc in the city they belong. Who are they? What is their purpose? Will they succeed? It has all been explained in very interesting manner with each chapter in the book ending with a cliff hanger.

Characters you could crush on!

The protagonist appears to be a frustrated IT employee and the office narration though slow at times bring a very realistic picture of corporate life. The evolution of the character or should I say characters is handled brilliantly. And even the not-so-important characters are well shaped. Although I was left a bit disappointed by their abrupt end as the story progresses, Gautam has confirmed he will be writing more books in the hacker series and some of the characters will definitely reappear.

Unique writing style!

I must say, for the new comer, Gautam Mayekar really has a master command over his language. His writing seems raw and real when he describes the frustration of a hacker and also seems vintage when he phrases sentences such as “A cockroach was strolling joyously on the half-eaten pizza lying on the small table, its antennae vying for a signal in all directions, probably blessing the original owner of that pizza.”

Hacking: A treat along with the plot

This aspect of the book is what really makes it unique again. The Software folks can especially relate to the technical jargons mentioned in the book. And the efforts which the author has taken to explain those terms by giving real life examples is what sets this techno-thriller apart from rest of the books. The hacking seems difficult, which is the case if you are familiar with technicalities around it. And yet, with his writing and description the author has made it easy to understand for those with not a very technical background. Even the title of the chapters are written so innovatively in “LEET” language; hacker’s language.

Get ready to experience a thrilling suspense!

I re-read the book to realize that each and every scene has a connection and a secret behind it. Everything written in this book is a build up towards the big reveal at the end. And that is why even when you feel like certain details were unnecessary, continue reading it. Because at the end of the novel, you are satisfied and yet somehow leave with a thinking hat on. If you are into Christopher Nolan, Tarantino movies, then you have to read this book, it has all the elements of those hollywood movie plots.

We are already waiting for the web series!

I am not surprised if this book is soon adapted into a web series or a movie. It is fast paced, unique and has perfect ingredients to be a blockbuster thriller. If rumors are to be believed, some media houses are already working in background to get the deal signed. Let’s wait for the official confirmation thought.

Its the next book you should grab!!!

We have seen 99 percent of books by the new authors tanking in the publishing industry. And yet, this book, though not a mega hit, continues to be among the top reads and downloaded. It deserves a better marketing and visibility I believe. If the word of mouth spreads, this one can really set up a new trend of pyscho-techno-thrillers on the lines of Amish’s mythology trend.

Well now if you don’t buy the book I am pretty sure you have no odea you are missing up on a rollar coaster ride at home!!

And bookworms all ready to raid the book?
