Book Review: The Technical (T) error by Rohit Ashok Kothari

The Technical (T) error by Rohit Ashok Kothari is a riveting thriller novel emanating from the dark silhouettes of technology that the world is using rampantly and bettering it day after day. The crux of the novel lies in grasping that technology if on one hand can boost our lives; it can on the other hand also empower terror outfits and rogue people to cause warfare and bloodshed against any nation or civilization.

At the forefront of the story, we have a smart tech assistant device named SUZI. It is all over the world, sold by SayTech Company and its data is powered by Doogle (something like Google search engine). The story is set in India; however, it shuttles across a few more nations that have direct and indirect strategic relationship with India. SUZI is a smart device that helps people with basic work and entertainment.

The story gains momentum when some teenage school students are found dead in the presence of SUZI. Police cop Ranbir Khandelwal (RK) smells a rat while others limited their belief thinking it as random cases of murder or suicide. Amidst the terror of minor suicide and killings, appears a cool Guru who does some basic rituals and everything comes to an end. That Guru shot into fame and many businesses verticals commence with his name. Next in a water sports park scores of people die followed by a mass robbery across the country. A deep investigation by RK reveals confounding stats and results.

Midway the climax, tone and intensity of the novel changes. Everything looked till then normal and general; now all of sudden terror links begin surfacing behind the crime cases happening in India. RK and a few more guys go to the bottom of the depth and gets hold of a terrorist working in the guise of a saint in India. But that is related to SUZI. Is it possible for terror masterminds to hijack the tech system and data and play with innocents’ lives for their motives? Find out more, pick up the novel and have yourself an indulgent treat with this genre-defining novel.

Rohit writes with a clear precision and his way of portraying a common looking smart device into doing something villainous depicts his prowess over flair of narrative and knowledge about the tech trends. Easy to read, this one novel will keep you hooked till you figured out who is who…why that company has done that and for what sake. It’s a good read and can be made into a web series. Highly recommended!
