In 2049, the brain-computer interface "Oracle III" allows humans to download knowledge in one second, but it also turns ideas into commodities. Chief architect Lin Ye was born unable to have a chip implanted, but discovered that he was actually the "mother cash machine" of the cloud board of directors - every time he died, 0.7% Of his emotions were drained away. In order to redeem the fear of being folded, he formed "404" with the daughter of the former richest man, a blind hacker, and a mad poet. They fought all the way from the deep-sea drilling platform to the Arctic ice cap, blew up the Lyra satellite, and caused the global chips to crash for ten seconds. In ten seconds, seven billion people heard their own heartbeat for the first time; ten seconds later, the world restarted, and Lin Ye became "the last free man in the world."
This is an escape from code to flesh and blood, and a resurrection from silence to shouting.
