At the launch of The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable, author Amitav Ghosh spoke about how unprepared Mumbai is in the event of a natural calamity. He painted a bleak but detailed picture of the outcome - the inability of an already-burgeoning city to deal with the ensuing chaos. Sidin Vadukut's upcoming medical thriller, Bombay Fever (Simon & Schuster India), paints a similar picture.
