ABOUT THE BOOK

Turbulence (2010) is a high-octane superhero novel by Indian author Samit Basu. It represents a significant departure from traditional Western superhero tropes by setting the action in a modern, hyper-connected India, London, and Pakistan.

The story is a "Speculative Fiction" take on the superhero genre, exploring what would happen if regular people suddenly gained powers based on their deepest, often subconscious, desires.
