Wild Future

About This Novel

The 11 stories included in "Wild Future" range from recent to distant, ranging from the impact of GPS technology on life and memories, the destruction of real connections between people by screens, to the tampering of memory authenticity by memory backups, the damage to emotions and experiences caused by the vast ocean of information, to mankind's exploration of black holes and space... Wang William, who focuses on realistic themes, has integrated his expertise in physics, philosophy and anthropology into a novel for the first time. Pay attention to and imagine the changes and confusions in certain stages of humankind's future: taxi drivers who have been laid off due to the popularization of driverless technology; people at the bottom who can break into the future world; the perfect stripping of human emotional memories; aliens' secret hijacking of earthlings, etc. The protagonists, taxi drivers, portrait photographers, airport security guards... Intentionally or unintentionally return to their old lives, maintain their old habits, and satisfy their "backward" state. These people who live in the future seem to have found a way to avoid anxiety. In these stories, we can clearly tell whether we are truly alive or not. "I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic." "You can't be the only one allowed to be nostalgic, right? You almost got into a fight with me over a box of Michael Jackson tapes." "Do you still remember this?" "I can't forget it, I keep thinking about it."
