Geek Nation in The Independent

There is a wonderful review of Geek Nation in The Independent newspaper today by the historian Chandak Sengoopta. The highlights: "Saini has produced an eye-opening survey of scientists in today's India. It shows in meticulous detail that, pockets of excellence notwithstanding, the overall state of Indian science and technology continues to be dispiriting... Engagingly written and remarkably objective, Geek Nation shatters many myths while not discouraging guarded optimism."

If you'd like to check out other reviews and recent press coverage, travel to my website. Plus, don't forget that Geek Nation is available on Kindle as well as traditional old paper (a friend of mine sent me a picture of himself holding his copy, above). And please, readers, keep your feedback coming. I love to get your nerdy emails!

Congratulations and heartening to see writers with Indian background making a mark at the global level.

Nice blog and I assume the book would be a delight as well.
