In a certain city in the west, a group of ordinary workers used their own weak but determined power to record and resist capital's devouring of social wealth in their own way.
Lu Mingyuan, department manager of a central enterprise energy company, used the formulas and belt buckles left by his father to record the truth. Faced with the truth about his daughter's poisoning, he struggled between conscience and reality; Zhou Zhengyang, chief of the Project Approval Section of the National Development and Reform Commission, changed from information collection to recorder, and finally A silent accusation was issued; the procuratorate accused Lin Man, the deputy section chief of Shenke, who wandered between the law and reality, and eventually led to tragedy; Chen Xiao, the project director of Hongtu Group, went from engineer to trader. His split personality symbolized the pathological identification with money and the deep resistance in his heart. They formed a circle of friends and together witnessed the step-by-step erosion of the foundation of society by money, organizing themselves and launching challenges.
Although their struggle was eventually crushed—either compromised or compromised, the scattered recordings, data fragments, and porcelain account books were quietly passed on by cleaners and students, becoming "civil archives" against forgetfulness. "Technology is light, but capital puts a filter on it."
The novel "Chain of Entropy" shows the process of ordinary people searching for justice in despair and holding on to their beliefs in difficult situations.
