LOVE AND LOATHING IN SILICON VALLEY
Ved, a 36-year-old Indian in Silicon Valley, works for Omnicon, the world's largest computer networking company. He finds his colleagues' false bravado and pretensions to changing the world both sad and comical. As the Dotcom Crash starts exposing the hypocrisies of his profession, Ved must deal with the turmoil in his relationships with Sasha, a Russian escort and an ambitious immigrant like himself, and Liz, a spiritual-liberal American, with whom he can freely talk about books, politics, art and the meaning of life. As Ved is reevaluating his life choices, his traditional parents visit from India. Although fiercely proud of his success, they are anxious for him to settle down. Ved reflects on the vast gulf between their respective worldviews and the sacrifices they made to secure his future.
