Best,

Press blurb: *Experimental Times* is an in-depth ethnography of the
transformation of Bengaluru/Bangalore from a site of "backend" IT work to
an aspirational global city of enterprise and innovation. The book journeys
alongside the migrant workers, technologists, and entrepreneurs who shape
and survive the dreams of a "Startup India" knitted through office work, at
networking meetings and urban festivals, and across sites of leisure in the
city. Tracking techno-futures that involve automation and impending
precarity, Hemangini Gupta details the everyday forms of experimentation,
care, and friendship that sustain and reproduce life and labor in India's
current economy.
