Frases de John Twelve Hawks

John Twelve Hawks es el nombre del autor de los libros El Viajero , El Río Oscuro La ciudad dorada ; las 3 novelas que conforman la trilogía La Cuarta Realidad que constituye el comienzo de la carrera del autor.

Se conoce muy poco sobre el autor dado que vive fuera de la Red, es decir, fuera del alcance del gobierno o las autoridades, sin tener una tarjeta de crédito, licencia de conducir ni ninguna otra documentación que pueda unirlo al sistema. Su edad, domicilio y señas particulares son inciertas, o al menos se mantienen en secreto como un presunto truco publicitario.

En su primera novela, Twelve Hawks nos introduce en una mirada distinta de nuestro actual mundo, donde existe una Gran Máquina que puede controlar todos y cada uno de nuestros movimientos, si vivimos en la Red. Lejos de ser una copia del conocido 1984, este thriller con dejos de ciencia ficción se sitúa en nuestra realidad y nos cuenta acerca de lo que ocurre sin que el grueso de la gente lo sepa.

En febrero de 2010 la 20th Century Fox compró los derechos para la adaptación al cine. Se dice que será el guionista Alex Tse el encargado de la adaptación. Wikipedia

“Any monitoring system that is invisible, pervasive, automatic, and permanent gives those in power the means to create a modern surveillance state.”

Against Authority: Freedom and the Rise of Surveillance States (2014)
Contexto: Any monitoring system that is invisible, pervasive, automatic, and permanent gives those in power the means to create a modern surveillance state. And these new states will have an authority that has detached itself from ethics and ideology. Politicians and dictators will continue to make speeches, but their words will become meaningless. This new system will see and know us. It will even predict our future behavior.

“Focusing on a writer’s life undermines the power of that writer’s ideas.”

From Interviews
Contexto: These days, I live on the grid – primarily because of medical issues. But I think that it would be hypocritical for a writer to condemn our surveillance culture and then appear on the Charlie Rose show to blather about personal details. Focusing on a writer’s life undermines the power of that writer’s ideas.
