What if the invention that changes everything is the one no one is allowed to know about?
Aryan Mehta has spent fifteen years examining patents — the unglamorous work of deciding what counts as new. Then a filing crosses his desk that shouldn't exist. The technology it describes is impossible. And the company behind it will do anything to keep it that way.
Subin Khullar draws on two decades inside the hi-tech patent world to write a thriller that knows exactly how the system works — and exactly how it can be broken. Protocol of Echoes is the rare techno-thriller that earns its technical detail.
what readers found
I work in IP law. This book gets the world exactly right — and then makes it terrifying.
The pacing is relentless. I read the last hundred pages in one sitting.
Finally a thriller where the technical detail is the point, not the obstacle.
Subin writes like someone who has been in the room where these decisions are made.
