吾輩當代真知灼見:資訊非知識

時序二○二三年,暢銷作家克萊.卡爾以其引人入勝且為人信服的細節描繪這一年。儘管世上許多地區享受資訊科技發達所帶來的龐大財富,卻許多國家陷入可怕的貧窮;人們為了爭奪自然資源而爆發激烈戰爭;失能的國際監管機構,致使各式武器,甚至包括核子武器的黑市交易日益猖獗。二○○六年的葡萄球菌瘟疫奪走四千萬條人命,隔年金融崩潰重創多國經濟;在美國,二○一八年發生於美利堅之艾蜜莉.佛瑞斯特總統遇刺事件,益發斲喪全國。網際網路仍舊為主要資訊來源,全天候廿四小時飽以世人無數新聞、謠言與指控,進而創造操弄人心的無限可能。

紐約精神科醫師、犯罪側寫暨歷史學者吉迪恩.沃夫博士,某日被迫捲入這充滿詭譎欺瞞的世界。當一名死於非命的電影特效技師,其遺孀帶著一張電腦光碟上門求見,裡頭記載的驚人證據顯示,如今廣為流傳的佛瑞斯特總統遇刺影像紀錄,竟是由其夫婿生前以數位方式竄改而成。為了調查此案,沃夫請出老友麥克斯.詹金斯出馬協助,麥克斯是位熟稔各種資訊操弄手法的私家偵探。

然而即使得到老友鼎力相助,是否就能順利將真相公布於世?本書情節緊湊、高潮不斷,人物與場景刻畫鮮明生動,《殺時間》充分展現小說大師克萊.卡爾,迥異於《沉默的天使》的一面。喜愛《沉默的天使》之讀者切勿錯過。



"It is the greatest truth of our age: Information is not knowledge."

The year is 2023, a time that bestselling author Caleb Carr paints in fascinating and believable detail. Much of the world enjoys the great wealth generated by the triumph of information technology, but horrifying poverty grips many countries, bitter wars rage over natural resources, and the failure of international regulatory agencies has resulted in an expanding black market in all forms of weapons---including nuclear devices. The staphylococcus plague of 2006 wiped out forty million people, the crash of '07 ruined many national economies, and in America the assassination of President Emily Forrester in 2018 traumatized the nation. The Internet remains the main source of information, bombarding people everywhere with news, rumors, and allegations twenty-four hours a day---and creating enormous possibilities for the manipulation of mankind.

New York psychiatrist, criminal profiler, and historian Dr. Gideon Wolfe becomes enmeshed in this world of deception when the wife of a murdered special-effects wizard brings him a computer disc containing startling evidence that the now-famous visual record of President Forrester's assassination was digitally altered by her husband. Investigating this crime, Wolfe enlists the help of his oldest friend, Max Jenkins, a private detective expert in all forms of information manipulation.

When Max, too, is murdered, a stunned and enraged Wolfe sets out to uncover who is behind the Forrester hoax and the killings, a journey that leads him to a secret group of scientific and military experts who---led by an ailing, mysterious young genius and his beautiful, brilliant sister---have undertaken to demonstrate the astonishing degree to which the public can be deceived and manipulated. Seduced in every way, Wolfe joins the team. But are their methods really as noble as their motives?

Relentlessly suspenseful and packed with brilliantly realized characters and settings, Killing Time reveals a new side of a master novelist.
