This article starts from a world that can fully protect personal privacy and tells a story about a life lost because of privacy protection.

Reader comments
The short stories in this book are very interesting, especially "Saving Jane Doe", which reminded me of the "Black Mirror" series, which are all reflections on future technology. "Remora Man" is also good. It feels like a prequel to "Star Marrow", which makes me want to read this series even more. Looking forward to the next issue of "Science Fiction World·Translated Edition"!
