Archibald "Harry" Tuttle - Ghost in The Machine


Harry Tuttle: My good friends call me Harry.


OK. Here's the gig. They collect and collate data that we all volunteer without actually thinking about what they can do with that data. It's your information, but they sell it to as many processors as they can who then use that data to fine tune the advertisement (rather than fine tuning the product) to convince you that you need it. They also sometimes give it or sell it to the government, who is in turn breaking no laws in acquiring the information about you. Mix that with your communications records and standard government files and THEY've got you by the balls.
I've been trying to come up with a good common name that everyone could use to confuse the data miners. A ghost in the machine. Of course we won't win, but for your own quiet amusement when you sign up for that discount card at your favorite grocery store. Then the name came to me...Archibald "Harry" Tuttle or just Harry Tuttle.
Trow all your old cards out and start over. Every time you get a discount on that loaf of bread, just image how many boxes of feminine hygiene products and beef jerky Harry's buying at the very same instant.
Central Services won't know what hit them.

Harry Tuttle: Bloody paperwork. Huh!
Sam Lowry: I suppose one has to expect a certain amount.
Harry Tuttle: Why? I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.
