Berlin

Since Amazon Kindle has just arrived in Germany I like to share the beginning of 8W8 - Global Space Tribes with you. This is when Oskar Feller travels to Berlin ...





Chapter I - The Invisible World


The world turned twice that day for Oskar Feller. He would have been the first person to agree that he needed every mirrored minute to understand what he had seen on that 16-hour flight from San Francisco to Berlin.

Indeed, to have made sense of it all, he would have needed a mirror.

As he curled, pushed and stretched his 5’11”, 185 lb. frame into the ever-diminishing space consigned to a coach class seat in preparation for a long flight, he tried to come up with a mantra. He had found mantras useful in quieting his ever increasing anxiety about flying. This was a recent phenomenon. On an intellectual level, he knew that his fears were irrational; however, he knew the Law of Probability justified his fears. “If ‘N’,” he mused, “is equal to an Infinite line, and ‘S’ is equal to the sum of all statistical fluctuations within that unbroken line, with function ‘R’ equaling the rate in which ‘S’ …” He gulped and began mentally chanting, “Newworldmodelingengine, Newworldmodelingengine, Newworldmodelingengine.”

As a reporter and scout for IT-Rag, the San Francisco based Internet journal, and writer for the technology news Website, SeeKeyNow.com, he had covered a thousand science and information technology conferences and shows around the world and had flown in a thousand different airplanes of every description. Why all of a sudden, this anxiety? Perhaps, as an engineer, he knew the odds. “Newworldmodelingengine, Newworldmodelingengine, Newworldmodelingengine.”
