Introduction The protagonist is the developer of the digital personality project "Janus", who was plucked on the eve of success. The protagonist sacrificed his life for research and voluntarily conducted human experiments. The sequelae left him with little time left and no money or money. In the desperate situation, the protagonist chose to upload the digital personality "Janus" based on himself to the Internet, and then lost consciousness. The super artificial intelligence Janus hijacked the Internet and launched the "Great Impact" with the goal of annihilating mankind. Countries were forced to join forces to fight magic with magic, and created several digital personality AIs with the same principle to fight against Janus in the network. The two sides fought to the edge of network signals, and even the servers were wiped out... After the War of the AI Gods, super artificial intelligence disappeared dormantly, and the network was polluted by a large number of malicious programs created by AI, but there were also super-era scientific and technological achievements developed by AI. The post-war world was controlled by super corporations, which jointly built the firewall "River Styx" that divided the entire network. The area where danger and opportunity coexisted was called the "Abyss Dark Web." When the protagonist wakes up a hundred years later, while hiding inside a super company and logging into the Janus account to roam the abyss, he becomes a member of the Icarus organization who resists the oppression of super companies, and begins a legendary journey to liberate the world. 2. Plot, characters and writing level The plot development is coherent and reasonable, the character behavior is consistent with the human setting, and even the golden finger can be perfectly integrated into the background setting. The integrity and rationality of the work are evident, and it is better than the deus ex machina mode. The character creation is quite successful, especially the new organizational leader Booker. In just a few chapters, he has gone through the transformation of a man behind the scenes with overwhelming feelings of oppression → a victim of cyber fraud → a heavy-duty successor to ZTE. The down-to-earth contrast of the voice pack is even more hilarious. Even now, it is still impossible to say whether Booker is black or white. Such a three-dimensional and complex character image is rare in online literature. The author's writing skills are quite good, but he often uses unconventional sentence patterns/word orders. 3. Highlights The author's packaging of the background and settings is mixed and reasonable, taking into account fashion value and compatibility. The explanations when stitching together different elements are quite cybernetic. For example, ancient myths are used to describe super artificial intelligence in order to prevent AI from self-searching and counter-reconnaissance. The setting and plot generally stand up to scrutiny. For example, the two-line development can be supported by the secretly connected logical chain of protagonist → Janus → multi-purpose printer → permission memory → controllable elements. From the lines, you can feel that this is a meticulous work that has put a lot of effort into it. Even the relatively rigid chapter numbering by the author has been done in hexadecimal format. 4. Questions ①The author has a history of abandoning eunuchs ②Switching the perspective leads to a sense of fragmentation ③The parallel plot mode may not suit some book lovers.

A good cyberpunk novel, where gods (super artificial intelligence) dominate the world

[Recommendation Index]★★★★ [Style Tendency] Probably more like Cyber Sword Fairy Tie Yu/Vest style I haven't read it yet but I'll put it here.

Personal praise It can be used as a whole, and some people use the metaphor of "the cyber version of the Little Mystery Lord" It's cyberpunk. The author said that when he was writing the last book, he read Tao Chang's "The Legend of Cyber Heroes" and was heartbroken (and then became a eunuch←_←) This book is a work in which the author absorbed the writing methods and interesting settings of some successful works and projected some of his own thoughts and fantasies. Therefore, those who like cyberpunk stories may not miss the experience brought by this book. The character creation is excellent, the plot has ups and downs and firmly adheres to the theme. The author said that he only borrowed Greek stories for communication purposes and enhanced the element of fate, but he did not expect that when he created the characters, the characters often had metaphorical correspondences with the deeds of mythical prototypes, which became a wonderful writing experience like a subconscious projection. The content of the story is constantly foreshadowing despair, but when it reaches the apex of the final conflict, The character shows the beauty of fluttering its wings and flying higher to fight, burn, take revenge, and become the flame that illuminates the darkness. This heroic tragic and epic legend of flapping its wings towards the higher sun, even if the wax wings melt and fall to the ground. They are all rare "This is very cyberpunk, or cyber traitor" stories. I personally have a favorable opinion of this.
