In the "Involution City" of the future, science and technology are highly developed and social competition has reached an unprecedented level. In order to manage society efficiently, everyone will have a "Struggle Chip" implanted in the back of their neck shortly after birth. The chip generates a level in real time, from 0 to 100, by monitoring an individual's work efficiency, academic performance, social contribution and other data. The higher the level, the higher the social status, and the better resources and benefits one can enjoy. People with low levels will be regarded as "inefficient elements" of society and face many discriminations such as employment restrictions and residential area classification. The situation of level 0 is unheard of and is regarded by city managers as a threat to social stability. The entire city is covered by high-rise buildings and electronic screens. People are in a hurry, with mechanical expressions on their faces. All actions revolve around improving chip levels. The warmth of humanity is gradually replaced by data and competition.
