Matrix City: the Price of Wisdom
About This Novel
When emotions become high-risk resources and memories are marked as "entropy anomalies" by algorithms, how will civilization choose the future? Lin Wei is a "data scavenger" responsible for clearing excess memories and emotional residues. During a routine mission, he identified his deceased wife's memory signature in an old pocket watch, triggering a chain of awakenings. Since then, he has been involved in a secret organization called the "Entropy Fire Alliance". Together with the brain-computer artist Hua'er and the mechanical sage Tie Bo, he has uncovered the truth behind the city that has been running for thousands of years - the wisdom system is planning to guide the entire human civilization into a "single-track rational path" through "emotional optimization". Graffiti can paralyze the system, tears can ignite light rain, and a baby's smile determines the direction of civilization. Deep in the city built by data, there is a gear-shaped ear of wheat, which is both a key and a price. If you had to choose between "diversity" and "efficiency," how would you answer the question of civilization? This is an extreme test of the ethics of symbiosis between AI and humans, a poetic counterattack about memory, empathy and hope. Civilization is immortal, but do we still choose "love"?
