Office jobs don’t feature in fiction quite as much as we’d like to, perhaps because it isn’t cool to be good at our job and just earn money, maybe? But today we’re picking up two books that riff off aspects of the office experience and take them in very different directions. Good fiction comes from our own lives, always.

This is episode #16 of Bookasur, talking about Corner House, Bangalore, Virtual Reality aids to music, surrendering insurance polices, and missing husbands.

Books featured:

Analog/Virtual by Lavanya Laxminarayan, published by Hachette India

The Machine is Learning, by Tanuj Solanki, published by Pan Macmillan
