In Japan in 2280, the general crisis of capitalism has reached its extreme. Quantum capital alienates labor, and the surplus value created by bionic people far exceeds that of humans. Data oligarchs use brain-computer interfaces to control consumption. The contradiction between private ownership of production means and socialized mass production threatens the survival of civilization.
In this context, Zhang San and Li Si proposed the transitionalism theory. This theory with historical materialism as its core has planned a "three-stage value reconstruction" path and advocates seizing data hegemony, but it also faces many challenges.
There are many social problems in Japan: economically, oligarchs control the "conscious capital market", the gap between rich and poor is huge, data refugees are exploited, and official data is falsified; politically, the constitution has been revised, government power has expanded, and dissent has been suppressed; socially, there is a sharp contrast between slums and elite areas, and the people at the bottom are addicted to virtual stimulation.
The experiment of the Yokosuka fishermen's cooperative was suppressed, which became the direct cause of the birth of transitionalism. Will the promulgation of this theory bring hope to the Japanese country, or will it cause greater chaos? It will be revealed step by step in the book.
