About the Book

The twenty-first-century heir to Kurt Vonnegut, Kanan Gill's debut, Acts of God, is a madcap futuristic romp that dares to question the meaning of existence--with equal parts reverence and hilarity. Private detective P. Manjunath thinks like fire and works like dust as he sets out to investigate existential cataclysms unfolding all over the globe--not knowing that the ripples in reality he sees are being caused by Dr. Krishna, a scientist in a utopian future and technically the God of their world. As Manjunath's investigation disrupts God's plans, a Danish police officer attains enlightenment, a lapel pin gives disruptive advice, a sentient wall provides the key to creativity, a pill cures the human condition, and everyone in the world develops a lisp at the same time. A blend of philosophical provocation, inventive lyricism, humor, and chaos, Acts of God marks the evolution of one of the finest voices in comedy.

Review :
"A brilliantly self-aware and satirical debut, Acts of God confronts all of us with an existential question: What if the creator was actually a mad scientist?" -- "Anees Salim, author of The Blind Lady's Descendants" "Kanan Gill is a naughty, weird genius--which, of course, is the perfect kind of genius to be. And Acts of God is a geeky, hilarious, thoroughly entertaining, and richly imaginative work of fiction. I couldn't help but 'hear' every sentence in the author's voice, which adds much charm to the writing, and every second page elicited a chuckle. But don't let the inevitable laughter deceive you: behind all its lightness is a real talent at storytelling, a bold sense of creativity, and a capacity to hook even somewhat wary readers. After all, as a historian I was unsure about venturing into sci-fi, and certainly found myself thrown occasionally. But in the end, the book proved to be that special thing: unputdownable." -- "Manu S. Pillai, author of The Ivory Throne" "Kanan Gill's Acts of God is an intriguing--and fresh--take on the classic SF warning against the temptation to literally play God." -- "Gautam Bhatia, author of The Wall" "This is an audacious daredevil of a book. Acts of God vaults higher and higher through fireworks of invention and imagination--while somewhere even higher, I thought, the spirits of Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut watch and applaud." -- "Raghu Karnad, author of Farthest Field"
