KAPITOIL
"Sometimes you do not truly observe something until you study it in reverse,"
writes Karim Issar upon arrival to New York City from Qatar in 1999. Fluent in
numbers, logic, and business jargon yet often baffled by human connection, the
young financial wizard soon creates a computer program named Kapitoil that
predicts oil futures and reaps record profits for his company.
At first an introspective loner adrift in New York's social scenes,
he anchors himself to his legendary boss Derek Schrub and Rebecca, a
sensitive, disillusioned colleague. Her influence, and his father's
disapproval of Karim's Americanization, cause him to question the
moral implications of Kapitoil, moving him toward a decision that
will determine his future, his firm's, and to whom—and
where—his
loyalties lie.
