Debugging Indian Computer Programmers
Debugging Indian Computer Programmers: Dude, Did I Steal Your Job? - this book was pushlished recently. Ordered it. shipping now.
It details an indian H1-B immigrant life story in this country. the ups and downs. the joys and the slurs. Interesting reading was the slashdot discussion after it was posted.

Ranged from get-off-my-country people to realistic people. people cribbed that how on earth will the compete against indians/chinese who do the same job at 1/3 the price.
A sudden realization dawned on me. Globalization, for all its ills, is the ultimate social and economic equalizer. perfect socialism. if anybody is poorer than another, he will do the job at lesser price, and hence be more productive. And ultimately the difference would reduce. nice. controlled globalization is good. of course, exploitation needs to be checked.
