Hachette India and the British Council present an evening with Angela Saini, the author of the book, in conversation with the Bangalore based author Samhita Arni. Angela is currently on a multi-city tour for promoting her book
Geek Nation – how Indian science is taking over the world.
About the book
Geek Nation is a journey to meet the inventors, engineers and young scientists co-innovating to give birth to the world’s next scientific superpower – a nation built not on conquest, oil or minerals, but on the scientific ingenuity of its people. Angela Saini explains how ancient science is giving way to new, and how the technology of the wealthy is passing on to the poor. Delving inside the psyche of science-hungry citizens of India, she explores the reason why the government of the most religious country on earth has put its faith in science and technology. Through witty first-hand reportage and penetrative analysis, Geek Nation explains what this means for the rest of the world, and how a spiritual nation squares its soul with hard rationality. Full of curious, colourful characters and gripping stories, it describes India through its people, a nation of geeks.
