This novel presents readers with an immense universe and a plot that will overturn everything they believe, all grounded in hard science fiction.
Ever since Atlantis evacuated Earth ten thousand years ago, Earth has been a prison planet jointly governed by the Tianyuan Empire and the Heavenly Machine Alliance. By chance, the Heavenly Machine Alliance discovered that Earth's native humans possessed an astonishing talent for understanding four-dimensional rules, the fundamental laws of four-dimensional space.
To gain better control over these rules, the Tianyuan Empire and the Heavenly Machine Alliance agreed to transform Earth into a training ground much like The Truman Show.
Prisoners from this star system have their souls extracted and are reincarnated on Earth, where they learn to experience four-dimensional rules as Earthlings. Those who are reincarnated and awaken memories of their past lives among the stars are known as the Awakened.
Tragically, ordinary Earthlings know nothing about the Awakened or the Truman Show, let alone that Earth is actually a prison. Only the most powerful Earthlings know that the universe has no so-called Fermi Paradox. Everything is being manipulated from behind the scenes by the stars of Tianyuan and Alpha Centauri.
Earthlings who know about the prison and the existence of Heaven call themselves the Earthbound Prisoners, meaning those imprisoned on Earth. Their community is called the Prison Realm. Its purpose is to break Earth out of its prison, a goal shared by all Earth's people.
