Groundbreaking Novel Expands on the Historic Change Created by the Internet

New York (PRWEB) February 22, 2008

8W8-Global Space Tribes by Ralf Hirt is a stunning novel that helps readers understand the world of the 21st century and the Internet Age. It offers an enjoyable blueprint for making better, more conscious decisions.

The Internet has changed the world, connecting everyone from every part of the planet and leading to increased globalization. How and why people can benefit from this and navigate their world better, is the cornerstone of Hirt's revolutionary novel, 8W8-Global Space Tribes.

In the novel, Internet activists from business, finance, media, government and more meet in a mansion to develop the world modeling engine, 8W8, in order to discover the individual digital elements and activities of the online population that they ultimately name Global Space Tribes. 8W8 allows them to make visible any aspect of the world they are interested in as well as visualize the current state and development of real world conditions like global connections, the environment, natural resources, the state of happiness, marketing opportunities and much more. Through virtual helicopter rides the activists experience and view a very new and amazing world different from what can be seen with the naked eye.

A world traveler, Hirt has been involved with helping people leverage the Internet to its maximum potential. Much like the activists in his novel, he developed a real-life 8W8 to make the invisibilities of the world visible based on an individual's needs.

8W8-Global Space Tribes not only gives readers fascinating characters, but it also shows them a new way to see the world. Not just for those interested in business, marketing or investment, 8W8-Global Space Tribes is also a must read for anyone who has ever logged onto a computer or sat on a plane.
