While hosting the 'What the Hack', a TV show that dealt with similar situations, Fadia says he got the idea to pen down the solutions and tricks for technology buffs.

His 'Geek On The Loose' video log on YouTube is also based on a similar concept where he has demonstrated some of the situations mentioned in the book.

Ankit Fadia says insists his new book is for a 'curious' layman and differs from his earlier books that focused on technical aspects and dealt more with hacking issues.

The Delhi boy who previously shuttled between the US and India is presently based in Mumbai.

He has signed a three-book deal with Penguin and plans to come up next with a fun-filled fiction novel.

"There will be hacking involved in this story about three friends besides a love story angle. There might be incidents inspired from real-life but it is definitely not about me", he says, "I always wanted to write down a fiction novel".
