Samit Basu didn’t expect for The City Inside to connect with audiences outside of his home country of India. “When I was writing it, it was so local to me,” says the 42-year-old author, when we talk from different sides of the planet via Zoom. His “anti-dystopian” novel, out today, is set in a near-future Delhi where corporate and government entities track everything you do and the attention economy has found even more invasive, thorough ways to commandeer our lives. “It’s a sad truth that things like the decline of democracy are now subjects that everyone in the world has to be concerned about. I think it’s the last five years, even more than then the pandemic in particular, but the pandemic accelerated all of these feelings and observations for everyone.”
