The Silicon Flame tells of quantumized Shang and Zhou bronzeware dancing with future intelligent machines within a space-time Möbius loop. When the Law of Soul Entropy forces civilizations to burn emotions as fuel, a hotpot shop owner from the city streets, a Berlin muralist, and a Mumbai scavenger search for an imperfect equation of humanity among starship wreckage and cracks in oracle bones. This is a wager laid by the Guardians over thirty thousand years, and an epic of the Classic of Mountains and Seas’ roots piercing the dome of reason in a triumphant reversal.
