• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What do you get for remembering faces? Not much. Just ask Nigel Grant, an adjunct professor at Portland State University, barely surviving after a failed marriage and the global recession of 2009. Well, that was until a trip to San Diego over the holidays turned into an unexpected job offer from Face Value Corporation, a San Diego-based company with the leading face recognition technology used by INTERPOL and other law enforcement agencies.

There are some that want to ban the use of face recognition, but the call for greater enforcement and monitoring resonates with others who are worried about the increased sophistication of criminal activity. Throw in the challenges from the coronavirus, and surveillance becomes even more difficult. With intelligence and enforcement practices failing around the world, Face Value and INTERPOL are forced to use people for real time assessment. Nigel Grant is one of these people.

Travel along with Nigel Grant and his girlfriend, Clare, on his first assignment for Face Value Corporation to the South by Southwest Festival in 2021, where an unexpected encounter with his past places Nigel and Clare in the middle of a political conspiracy with deadly consequences.

Nigel soon learns that remembering faces is the least of his problems.

Autorenporträt

BIOGRAPHY
Robert Hesslink is an independent financial advisor and adjunct professor living in Portland, Oregon with his family.
Intrigued by the survivalist movement out of Southern Oregon, Robert wrote his first non-fiction book entitled Survival Fitness in 1982, while working on his master's degree at Portland State University. It was written for individuals looking to survive from an attack by the Soviet Union--an attack that never came and a book that, sadly, never got published.

An interest in writing soon returned after Robert moved back to Portland in 2014. Noticing that many of his investment clients suffered from preventable chronic diseases, Robert decided to apply his experience in life science research to write a book about the value of three simple health behaviors. His book, Eat Less, Sleep More, and Slow Down, has been well received with Robert appearing on KGW Channel 8 and a write-up in the Lake Oswego Review.

Robert's venture in fiction storytelling, At Face Value, began in the summer of 2019 while traveling in Japan. The presence of smart phones in daily life and the intrusion of facial recognition from private and public industry sparked an idea: an idea about the dangers of facial recognition and the loss of personal privacy and freedom.
