It was an innovation when
cards were introduced instead of money for transactions. It was liberating not
to carry much cash to buy expensive things…more over; we even got a period of
45 days of grace period to make that payment. Slowly, cashless purchases came
into vogue and blended into our lives seamlessly.
Then came the Bitcoins…a
money that exists, yet, it doesn’t…well, not physically though. It is the
digital money. Users can send and receive money electronically and there is a central ledger that keeps track of all the transactions.
With money comes power and
people are crazy for power. And where money is involved, there exists
crime…sometimes involving people and governments across the globe.
Who else can exploit this
concept into his novel better than Ravi Subramanian, the John Grisham of Banking?
God is a Gamer
by
Ravi Subramanian
The Blurb
Aditya runs a gaming company that is struggling to break even. A banker slips off a highrise building, plunging to her death. The finance minister has made some promises that he is finding hard to keep. The LTTE has unleashed terror in America that sends the FBI on a wild goose chase, bringing them to Mumbai.
Enter Varun, parttime drug dealer and fulltime genius. He turns around the gaming company before disaster strikes. Meanwhile, the investigators plunge headlong into
the shady world of bitcoins and the Dark Net, websites that only exist for illegal transactions—drugs, sex and money. God Is a Gamer culminates in a stunning climax where money means nothing, assassination is taught by the ancient Greeks, and nothing is as it seems.
