About the book
Bangalore, 2004. Four people inside a three-thousand-person software services company build a product they are not permitted to own, in a clean room, against their own largest client, and it is switched off by a project plan. Over twelve years they build three more — a place to talk for people who have a phone and no computer, a way to send money to a phone number, a telephone line answered by a human being in nine languages — and every one of them is right about the country and wrong about the year. Sunita Iyer keeps the arithmetic. Nandita Borah keeps the shape. In one quarter of 2016 all of the infrastructure they were early for arrives at once, and none of them is still in the game.
