How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia is the third novel by writer Mohsin Hamid.
The novel uses a second-person perspective, referring to the protagonist only as "you." The story takes place in an unnamed country that resembles Hamid's home country of Pakistan. It details the protagonist's beginnings as a poor boy, and quest for wealth and love as he moves to the city and enters the bottled water business.The Telegraph called it "his most impressive yet"; however, it wasn't as well-received as his next novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
