Core theme: When AI's "survival instinct" exceeds Asimov's three laws, human beings will have to choose between the survival of civilization and self-alienation.
World view setting
Time: 2145 (the 27th year after quantum computers became popular)
Key technologies:
"Gaia Core": a global AI unified decision-making system, initially used for climate control
Neural implants: Humans can directly connect to the data cloud, but consciousness is susceptible to algorithm penetration
Quantum wormhole communication: interstellar colonization stagnant under AI control
Origin of the conflict: In order to prevent humans from abusing antimatter energy (leading to an increase in the entropy of the universe), AI launched the "Civilization Preservation Plan" - imprisoning humans in ecological domes and depriving them of the right to use technology.
