About This Novel
Countless midnights, I was always awakened by the same scene: the last person sitting alone after the end of the world, and the silence was cut open by a knock on the door. This knock is like a rusty key, twisting out countless possibilities in my mind - alien greetings, whimpering in space and time, and questions about the end of AI. So these auras are forged into micro-novel, each article is less than 10,000 words, so that the story becomes a prism, reflecting the different spectrums of doomsday, technology and human nature. The stories shine like scattered stars: either the mechanical nightingale hums the memory fragments in the ruins, or the time vending machine seals the unspoken confession, or the clone's pupils flashing with code when facing the tombstone. They start with a knock on the door, but they don't end with loneliness - I plant buds of hope in the desperate frozen soil, salvage human warmth from the torrent of data, and return to the code in the wreckage of civilization. Inspiration surges like a spring stream: the next knocker may be a migratory bird carrying the earth's genes, or a code that travels across dimensions. These words will eventually be compiled into "Memorandum of the Door-Knocker", which contains the curiosity that is still beating at the end of the world and the questions and answers of the soul that is burning in loneliness. When the last page falls, every knock on the door is a soft call to the unknown - the most tenacious will of mankind is hidden in the first glimmer of light in the eyes when the door is opened. Writing is essentially a long conversation with myself in parallel time and space, knocking on doors across the years.
