8W8.com for Travel and Internet Enthusiasts: Browsing Through the Novel '8W8 ? Global Space Tribes' by Ralf Hirt (Amazon Books Kindle Bestseller)
New York (PRWEB) April 14 -- The new fiction work '8W8 ? Global Space Tribes' begins and ends on an airplane flight which serves as bookends to a fantastic journey. It is difficult to tell if the story begins with the central character, O.K. Fellow staring out of the cabin window musing about his inability to see the world as he knows it must exist. Although the elements he wants to see don't manifest themselves in our traditional three-dimensional world, he intuitively knows that they are there, albeit invisible to the naked eye. Or, does the novel begin when the 15 members of the Golden Sky, an IT think tank, in their break out meeting in a mountain palace on the Big Island, Hawaii?
Like Hirt's vision, the mountain palace is a metaphor, invisible to the outside world. All one can see from the outside is a six-story reflection of the sun during the day, and in the evening, the moon and stars. Yet, behind this golden mirror an entire world exists: a mountain stream navigates from floor to floor, an entire self-sustaining farm functions on the bottom floor and our band of 15 IT thinkers amble about from floor to floor, from high tech conference rooms, to dining rooms, to fitness rooms, to swimming pools; all invisible outside the golden mirror.
Like modern travelers, today, they set out from point 'A' and plan to reach point 'B' within a predetermined amount of time. What our travelers don't know is how they are going to get there and where, exactly, they are going. The group is heavily weighted by business people with above average understanding of the Internet and IT technology and a visceral belief that what was needed is a new world modeling engine. Among them is a blind philosopher, who, through cunning, had been able to hide his blindness from his companions, but it is he who first sees the direction in which they are going.
However, it was Theresa Raffles who began to unravel the conundrum by interpreting messages sent to her by O.K. Fellow on his flight from San Francisco to Berlin where the story begins:
"Look at the way you look at lights. They are diamonds. Christmas lights and then, over Belgium, they are reduced to dots. You had finally reduced everything to dots, the basic elements. At one point, you had volumized, segmented and saw elements becoming streams. Later on, you create your own topography, envisioning hills, slopes and mountains."
Slowly, the group begins to assemble the pieces. They stumble upon the idea of using a virtual helicopter which contains a computerized system, a new world modeling engine, which they call "8W8." From this platform they are able to look down on the world and see business opportunities, the state of the environment, wealth and resources and, ultimately, intangibles such as human emotions.
This is a book for every business traveler; a fast and enjoyable read which takes the reader from point 'A' to the world of the Global Space Tribes. Extracts are available on www.8W8.com.
With over a decade of global Internet industry experience at companies including Glam Media and DoubleClick (Google), Hirt is well placed to comment on the possibilities for technology in an ever-more tightly connected world. Originally from Stuttgart, Germany, he has lived and worked in China, Australia, the United Kingdom and now resides in New York City, NY. Rarely, if ever unconnected, Hirt has used his first hand experiences of the business and social changes wrought by the Internet to write an enjoyable and intriguing novel that give readers much to ponder as they navigate their way through the 21st century.
