ABOUT THIS BOOK
In the bustling streets of Bharat, 2032, Nithilan, a brilliant vulnerability analyst, is entangled in
intrigue as he creates the Adayal—a digital identity with the power to reshape the nation. Meanwhile, nearly a century earlier, in Perumanallur, India, Chinna Mayan and his people face the oppression of the Criminal Tribes Act.
A threat of the Jelly virus holds the digitised globe to ransom. Nithilan encounters geopolitical
power struggles, data theft and an impending digital apocalypse as he navigates a landscape where the future hangs in the balance.
Will Chinna Mayan and his people survive the tyranny of the British? Can Nithilan save the precious data from falling into the wrong hands? Will the looming digital catastrophe be averted?
As the echoes of history reverberate through time, the past may hold the key to shaping the future— but at what cost?
