THE ADVENTURES OF PRIME NUMBER
Prime is the name given to him by a strange child, who bursts into the life of Hector, war photojournalist in almost sixty years staring at his father. Was desired and designed by a mother scientist, but conceived and brought into the world by artificial intelligence so advanced, so as to have developed a conscience. Not a creature equal to the others, does not know next to nothing, everything appears new, beautiful; possess the gift of finding magic in things more common and when it cannot find it, create it. And the things you don't know, learn, through mysterious connections. Whoever meets you can discover different, better. Him realize even the observers of a multinational company, a technology that Erodes, philanthropic, façade hides a dark will to power. So Hector and Number are forced to flee and hide. To help them, a crowd of quirky characters: rasta scientists able to save Venice from high water, valets abusive that handle new forms of hospitality, Sardinian-Chinese traders, carnies with big hearts and a long history of resistance. Mild like a fairy tale, isn't it like a story, the adventures of prime number gives us stories and thoughts to no end, and especially a protagonist of which it is impossible not to fall in love.
Slim, lithe, with Brown tuft that fell over his eyes one more green than the other, prowled among the larches and pines, between spruce and beech trees, he climbed the slopes, light the paths trod on the lawns and in the rocks, curious. Seemed to follow a secret network of paths. It was like she was at her house, a creature in its natural environment. One day, happy, returned with an enormous bear poop. He had collected and deposited in a basket of herbs, twigs and leaves that had woven. He kept her in the room, resting on a rock the size of a box of fruit.
-I wish I could find another one! -said.
-Why? You don't just have that? -
asked Hector, who had crooked nose.
Not that crap smelt, was already dry.
-Nobody has two bear droppings, Dad!
The bear also makes thirty kilometers between a poop!
