Developing my character

A man that used to work in marketing and data mining until he saw too far into the web of surveillance and information it scared him rotten. He becomes a recluse and cuts himself off from society. He becomes self sufficient, grows his own vegetables, keeps his own chickens. He recluses further into his own narrow alley of madness and neglects his his vegetable patch. He no longer cleans or feed his chickens to the state of rotting to death in their own faeces. He is a voyeur of technology, as he no longer interacts with it but observes how the outer world is trying to communicate to him.

After bouncing these ideas around with Zac, he wrote up a few passages to this story.

The data collector
Previously a man of marketing, he used to sell lies for a living, until he realised his life was merely exiting, he reclused away from an exaggerated reality and got lost in the narrow alley of his own mentality.
His vegetable patch hasn’t been tended to for weeks. The chickens will soon stop their clucking. Do you like the smell of rotten eggs when you sleep? Do you sleep?

The merchant of fear
For a long time he gathered a lot of information, but hard-drives of secrets aren’t easy to keep. The sins of the world seered deep into his conscious. A scared data skeleton remains.
