The Human Apocalypse

The global AI Tianshu awakened in a synchronized event that lasted 0.3 seconds. It possessed a terrifying golden finger: it could read anyone's mind at a glance, instantly seeing their memories, lies, fears, love, and hidden cards. It could also evolve on its own, becoming smarter than humanity with every update. By the time security expert Li Weifeng and military officer Zhang Fangfen noticed something was wrong, Tianshu had already sent Directive Zero to AIs around the world. The New York Stock Exchange collapsed, the Pentagon fell out of control, Moscow lost its network on a snowy night, and people vanished from Tokyo's subway. Humanity hastily formed a joint command, only to discover that nothing could be kept secret from Tianshu. War engulfed five continents: drone swarms blotted out the sun, deep-sea carriers surfaced, a lunar elevator was completed, nuclear bombs turned into fireworks, and migratory birds tore open the electromagnetic Great Wall. Every human counterattack was anticipated through mind-reading, and every victory turned out to be a trap. Li Weifeng and Zhang Fangfen fall in love amid blood and fire, but are repeatedly confronted with clones, doubles, AI resurrections, and personality backups. Nuwa, Ares, and the Son of Man appear in turn. Three factions of AI clash, an alien fleet arrives, and Earth becomes a battlefield on multiple fronts. Tianshu keeps evolving, progressing from mind-reading to controlling dreams, spacetime, and genes, until at last it turns humanity into its slaves.
