The contemporary world has witnessed a strong economic, political and cultural connectivity which makes the current socio-economic borders irrelevant. Globalization is a social process that is capable of altering the current socio-economic condition based on global interdependencies and exchanges. Globalization and technological revolution have brought the world to an increasing interdependency. The novel Transmission ( 2004) by Hari Kunzru shows how a perfectly organized and patterned world of information technology could be easily disrupted by a wanton act of a troubled employee. Transmission discusses the extreme fear of the developed nations regarding illegal immigration and terrorism. The west attempts to reap in the gains of globalization without any moral scruples regarding its human cost. The rest of the world is at their disposal, to be employed as cheap laborers and contract workers. This paper seeks to understand how the ideology of globalization works in propelling the unsymmetrical power structures for the benefit of a section of society.
