The protagonist suffers from chronic pancreatitis and has spent months at the hospital.
So-called friends and girlfriends drift away in his time of need. The only ones by his side are his family, giving him strength to fight the pain.
Soon things become even worse. He is rushed into an emergency surgery following an episode of internal bleeding.
He wakes up to the sound of voices. The first thing the voices tell him is, -No one comes back from death empty-handed. We are going to stay with you, either to guide you or to torture you. We will play with your head and thoughts as we feel fit.-
What do these voices want from him?
Will they help him or turn against him?

Every coin has got two sides. Similarly every new scientific and technological invention has got advantages and disadvantages . Internet has brought a great revolution as well as it has become a threat to our life due to the wrong approach of some people who want to misuse it for their selfish motives. For example hackers steal information from others accounts and steal the money from them. Like this they play a havoc in our day to day life and thereby giving all the trouble . Cyber crimes are increasing .
People navigate in the virtual world with half knowledge or without any guidelines . Some of them fall prey to predators .
"WORLD HYPNOTIZED MAKING OF THE FUHRER" is a novel that deals with the extra sensory power of the protagonist and manipulative activities of computer geeks . The book advises the readers about the trap in the form of free downloads which leads to virus attacks and theft of important data like password, date of birth, etc.
The book also talks about the not so fair treatment meted out to gay couples in this society. It tells about the illegal activities of a paedophile who exploits small children. The book elaborates about beggars and their lifestyle.
The plot is good and there are so many sub plots to convey many episodes involving several extraordinary matters like world war , politics and abuse of power by unscrupulous people .
The language is simple and narration is direct . The storyline is good .
I recommend this book for an easy read .

I thank the author for providing copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Oh Boy! What have I done? I am really sorry to say this but his book should not be read by any one who is into reading even a little bit. This is utter disappointment and totally waste of time. WHY? Let me tell you why, I found the protagonist so full of himself and conflicting. At first he believes good in people yet he wants to take revenge? And he uses Morse code to communicate with fellow hacker? Seriously? Morse code? and he is fucking hacker. And don't get me started with his ex-girlfriend. He wasn't allowed to talk to anybody? WTF? Genius failed to understand that he was being controlled and manipulated. It was more like a teenage melodrama.
"as online market places don’t really care about the security of their data, it would be very easy for me to hack into the servers and place my software." Yeah sure. It's a piece of cake to just hack their servers. :/
And what was the point of adding the beggar story? How the hell it helps in development of the story?
Ugh!! That's enough of my time for this book and its review. If i could i would give it half stars.

An unusual book as none of the characters have been given any name, they are defined by their relationships. The book is the story of a 30 year old hacker who has severe health problems, however he makes a miraculous recovery. After recovering, he starts hearing voices, selling tshirts online, embedding software to manipulate the mind of visitors to the online website, so that they purchase his tshirts and becomes a millionaire. Partly because of his arrogance, his parents meet with a near fatal accident and he wishes to take revenge on the person who caused the death. The book is very interesting because it discusses hearing voices (scientifically known as voice to skull technology) and memory or brain wave reading, which the indian mainstream media is not writing about, though it is being used extensively on indian citizens.

The story was new but something was missing
The protagonist says he has no other option but to believe those voices but he never does that in reality, he knows that if he act accordingly to the voices he would get what he wanted but he never does that and the revenge, he never wanted to marry his ex and he just considered her as time pass and when he came to know she was so mean ,he wanted to take a revenge but he did the same thing to her,he just used her and considered her as a toy to buy with money.
Who would take revenge against him then.
Overall a good plot which has few logic mistakes and I'm waiting for the second book

The story starts with the protagonist developing an application that manipulates people the way the protagonist wants. While developing it, he is helped by some mysterious voices from inside his head, which is acquired after a near death episode by the protagonist. How is the protagonist profited by his software? Why is he hearing voices? and Will he be successful in his endeavours? These are the questions that make the backbone of the story.
Author Akash Lakhotia has expressed all the pain that a man with pancreatitis experiences but they fail to make an impression on the readers as it just passes by sublimely. Initially, the protagonist has great plans for the people who have betrayed his trust and ruined his life. But as the story proceeds, he just concentrates on the new additions to his list, ignoring the initial ones almost till the end. The protagonist's wanting for revenge is expressed vehemently but his actions and the unwanted inclusion of many flashbacks significantly affects the vehemence with which it was initially portrayed.
There are a lot of unwanted elements in the story and I am unable to get what the author has tried to convey.
What is the significance of the beggar's story?
This is narrated just to increase the number of pages and serves no real purpose to the development of the story. If it did, the author has failed to make the connection significant.
The voices are said to be choosing a person specifically. If that is the case, why did they choose the protagonist?
What did the voices actually want from him? The explanation given for the reason the voices appeared is not clear.
The author has taken some examples from our country and mentioned those without explicitly naming them. The author has named none of the characters and just used the adjectives to describe each character.
As the book ended, I was left with a lot of questions in addition to the ones I mentioned above.
What happened to Mrs. Powerful?
How did the well wisher win?
Why did the protagonist run without facing the questions?
What happened to his Spirit of Vengeance?
I hope the next book of the series answers all my questions!
