What would happen if there was an app that told the whole truth and nothing but the truth? What is truth exactly, and is it more subjective than we believe? Paul H. Raymer explores these questions in his novel Reclaiming Truth. Gus Sainte, a soldier who was stationed at Guantanamo Bay after the September eleven attacks, builds a business and - with his colleagues and teams - a program around the concept of being able to discern the truth from all the lies of the world. However, as he and his teams continue to perfect the program, they encounter people who cannot afford to have their lies exposed. When the time comes to demonstrate what the truth-finding program can do, Sainte just might see why sometimes the truth is better off hidden.
What does being human mean in an age where technology becomes more and more prevalent? This plagues Sainte throughout him achieving his goal of developing a sophisticated truth-seeker, more advanced than any lie detector can become. You really learn a lot about what can be perceived as the truth amongst individuals, groups, and even cultures without being propaganda-like. As I read the book, I contemplated what I felt would be reasons to lie or tell the truth: Is it because of the consequences attached to both? Are those consequences truly objective or subjective in themselves or because we as humans attach the consequences we think a given situation deserves? I went through this alongside Gus, especially when the program was unveiled.
