Anil Goel grew up in Mumbai, India in the 70s and fell in love with computers when he saw one for the first time in the Asiatic supermarket at Churchgate in the 80s. He went on to graduate with honours in Computer Engineering in the 90s and worked in the technology industry for more than a decade before writing his first novel “Release 2.0: The Bangalore Imperative”.
Release 2.0 was hailed as “India’s first IT thriller” and rated very high for its fast pace, imagination and vision of the technology industry, earning Anil the moniker of “Prophet Of Doom” from the Deccan Herald. Exit Point is his second novel. It is based on the internet.
A diehard technologist, who believes the entire miracle of the universe can be reduced to a computing problem, Anil’s stories are tech thrillers that are based on real technology but stretch the limits of what is currently available and what may be possible in the future.
