Newton's Wake

Newton's Wake: A Space Opera is a science fiction novel by British writer Ken MacLeod, published in 2004. Set in the 24th century, it follows human life after a partially cataclysmic Singularity, and in particular a conflict on a far-flung planet that upsets the prevailing order. It has elements of both transhumanism and satire and is written using the printed versions of common translation stereotypes (e.g. Scottish people say "tae"). The novel was nominated for the British Science Fiction Award in 2004, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2005. more »

I watched them kill a president, live on my TV
His panicked wife, her helpless face
His brains across her knees
I watched the planes, unstoppable, watched the towers fall
Watched the people choose to jump
Not stay and burn

I watched the night offensive, entitled shock and awe
Watched the missiles raining down
On a people crushed and poor
I rode with tanks, I flew with drones, I fought through city streets
I saw the dead, I watched them die
Live on my TV

I don't need the know the truth, It's there on my TV
Inglorious, indemnified, there for all to see
The hatred and the petty lies, corruption and deceit
Masquerading as the truth, live on my TV

I watch our leaders come and go, there on my TV
They claim to know the real truth, what's best for you and me
Reagan, Thatcher, Bush and Blair, the murdered Kennedys
Rumsfeld, Clinton liars all, barefaced for us to see
They send the boys to do their work, watch safe on their TVs
Then watch the cash come rolling in, the sale of liberty
Each one compromised by the inevitability
That power corrupts and total power corrupts absolutely

I'll sit right here and watch the world burn on my TV
Forget the face of all I love

I don't need the know the truth, It's there on my TV
Inglorious, indemnified, there for all to see
The hatred and the petty lies, corruption and deceit
Masquerading as the truth, live on my TV
