When fiction is better than fact

The world of the 21st century is Internet based and no one sees that more clearly than Ralf Hirt, the author of the new novel, 8W8-Global Space Tribes. The Internet has changed the world, connecting people from the far ends of the Earth and igniting globalization. Hirt writes a compelling piece of fiction about how people can benefit from this and why they should navigate their world in better ways.

The book paints a picture of the new age where Internet activists from the industries of business, finance, media and government meet to develop the world's most advanced modeling engine. The novel offers readers a new way of viewing the world and a map of how today's technology may help solve some of the most pressing challenges. If you look back on some of the best science fiction of the 20th century, you will see that fantasy that indeed has come true. Just take 2001: A Space Odyssey, for example. And count how much of that fantasy is now reality. Hirt's publicists describe his novel as a "must read for anyone who has ever logged onto a computer or sat on a plane."
