"Silicon Fire" tells the story of quantized Shang and Zhou bronzes dancing with future intelligent machines in the Möbius strip of time and space. When the law of soul entropy forces civilization to use emotion as fuel, a hot pot shop owner, a Berlin muralist, and a Mumbai scavenger search for imperfect human equations among the wreckage of starships and cracks in oracle bones - this is a gamble that the guardians have set up for 30,000 years, and it is also an epic counterattack in which the roots of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" pierce the dome of reason.
