BB: First of all, there is no such thing as absolute privacy in this world. There never was and there never will be (unless one decides to live like a hermit). We are social creatures. We interact with people around us due to our very nature and as a consequence those people observe us, provide us feedback, and help develop our personality. Our social relationships are so complex and so intertwined, I don't think it's possible to even imagine someone's personality in absence of others. And throughout history (and prehistory) we lived with no privacy. It's a relatively new concept, but nowadays we witness it to become one of those words synonymous with freedom. By their very nature, every organization wants to control its members and there is no escape from it. It's a part of that survival instinct in all of us, penetrating even in the organizations we found. We are yet to define and create an organization or entity that doesn't come with any self-preserving qualities. And the best way of self-preserving is control: Now, we are back to square one. See the answer to 5 above.
On the other hand, it is impossible for us to have a fair picture of how we live, while we live it. We can only compare it to how it was before and how we wish it could be. But both of these are mere biased perceptions and speculations. We have no idea how some society 100 years from now will perceive how we live now, just like the slaves in ancient Rome couldn't even have words to comprehend our lifestyle today. I watch movies about ancient times where heroes chant "freedom" for everyone with a smirk.
RMT: 9) Your website culpainnata.com mentions that you are already working on a second book called Chaos Rising. A trailer from 2009 concerning the game Culpa Innata 2 also refers to it as Chaos Rising. However the significant difference between the final of the first book compared with the final of the first game has puzzled many of your numerous fans. How do you intend to marry all this together, or how do you intend to develop the story in both the second book and the second game? Will the second installment take place in the Rogue States; are they about to rise from their ashes as some sort of solution to the New World Order?
BB: They are called the Rogue States, not Phoenix :) So, no, they are not about to rise from their ashes. As the trailer of Culpa 2 (the game) implies, part of the second installment takes place in Russia. And about marrying the book and the game... Right now I'm working on book 2 and after that will come book 3 (a really dark book). Game projects are possible, and depending on circumstances, I can even remake game 1. Everything is possible, depending on fan reaction... As Phoenix would say: "We shall see!"
