A hard-core science fiction suspense work that combines quantum physics, neuroscience and existential philosophy. The story begins with a late-night vision in a computer laboratory of a university in Shanghai - Su Yue, a genius girl suffering from facial amnesia, restarts the dusty computer on the anniversary of the death of her brother Su Heng, accidentally triggering a memory puzzle that spans thirty years.
Puzzle:
The brother who died after falling from a building actually has 299 clones alive in the world
Convenience store cash registers hide quantum keys that could rewrite reality
Blockchain tattoos, artificial olfactory firewalls, consciousness spore plague and other black technologies are taking turns to subvert cognition
Characters:
Su Yue: A computer genius who uses smell to build the world, left-hand quantum and right-hand humanity
Ji Chen: Semi-mechanized convenience store night clerk, whose heart beats recursively and counts down to dawn
Cheng Ye: A cyberranger who is deaf in his right ear, the spine interface hides the backup of human civilization
Lu Ming: A deeply depressed investment banking elite with a cross-century conspiracy parasitic in his brain
Ask:
When artificial intelligence learns to dream, when quantum computers produce love, and when cloning technology blurs the boundaries between life and death—will humans dare to admit that the so-called perfect evolution is just a projection of fear evolution?
This dark fable full of mathematical beauty will take you through the intersection of Shanghai alley convenience stores and the quantum void. Between the memory graveyard and the logical plague, you will witness the last choice of mankind before the dawn of recursion: to embrace the destined to be incomplete truth, or to indulge in the flawless lie.
