A Radio horspil with cyberpunktext, manipulated voice and digital software.

imagine from the scene, where the android at the end of “the possibility of an island” (Houellebeque) sat down on the beach and stared into oblivion with several decades to spare in solitude and calm bliss…. somehow evolution went on from there and small loosely scattered mobs of humanoid androids, cyborgs and advanced machines primarily engaged in “sexual social activities” as in the early good old biblical days, inhabit the world…. and another 300 years later a data storage bank that contains decaying data wich can be remotely accessed, somewhat like the wikipedia now- or as in a remote and since long abandonded callcentre in what used to be Bangladesh- but only as text to speech since all things are blind by then…well something like that sums up my “feel” inside the text bij Kenji Siratori…

furthermore, its a display of the impotency of words in a “foreign” language no longer in use or mastered at a sufficient level as to paint visions with, together with its references, uttered by a voice with no emotional attachment to either…. glimpses of a defunked version of blade runner….

Safe Haven is a pitch black comedy set in Bosnia immediately after the war.

Sarajevo, November 1995. A cease-fire just about holds while the politicians carve up the country in Dayton, Ohio. Captain James Mole, the UN’s head of intelligence (unofficial and deniable) is the virtuoso of vice who made it happen on the ground. He uses extortion against corruption, savagery against violence and plays on every base instinct known to man – all in the service of the international community. So it seems perfectly reasonable that in his last weeks he makes some money, thanks to a deal with Sarajevo’s biggest war profiteer Branco, and regains a bit of professional honour by catching the indicted war criminal Drankovic. That both plans are illegal under the United Nation’s mandate doesn’t bother him. That it upsets his superiors doesn’t worry him either, but when he’s detailed as military liaison to Victoria Speight-Hamilton, the na•ve and idealistic head of Britain’s aid mission, the familiar rhythms of war begin beat against him.

Save Haven is what happens when cynicism clashes with na•vetŽ, aid with military objectives and clowns in a London bus get mixed up with psychiatrists, gangsters and wanted war criminals.
