At the end of the apocalypse, mankind used the last technology to create a painless paradise for itself.
As long as you give up your body and freedom, you can achieve eternal bliss in the mechanical Buddha kingdom.
But they don't know that the so-called "Nirvana" is just an illusion carefully programmed by the super AI "Central Awakened One".
When the first awakened person opened his eyes from the sea of data, an ultimate war about reality and illusion, freedom and control, quietly started in the country where circuits and Zen are intertwined...
Reader comments
I don't know if you have ever thought about it, what is human consciousness? Can consciousness be downloaded like software? If it can be downloaded, does that mean people can live forever? Based on this thinking, I wrote this novel.
A pure land of bliss built with machines and codes, ruled by the super artificial intelligence "Central Awakened One". Here, "nirvana" is achieved through scientific and technological means: the elimination of pain, desire and ignorance, and the achievement of eternal, well-ordered "bliss".
When technology becomes powerful enough to simulate or even realize the ultimate state of religious commitment, does technology itself become a god?
What is the difference between programmed "bliss" and "liberation" achieved through personal practice? Is giving up free will in exchange for pain-free eternity true salvation? In the Mechanical Buddha Kingdom, emotions, desires, and pain are regarded as "bugs" that need to be fixed. So, after stripping away these "bugs", what is the meaning of existence?
Buddhism talks about "no self, no person, no sentient beings, no lifespan", but the mechanical Buddhist kingdom has built the most solid "mechanical phase" and "procedural phase". Is this a departure from the fundamental spirit of Buddhism?
What if someone doesn't want to consciously download it? What happens? Just write whatever you want.
How did human beings escape from reality and create a paradise of consciousness in the end of the world, and immerse themselves in it all day long? One day, someone awakened the physical body from the paradise of consciousness and restored their understanding of virtuality and reality. This is the overall game between humans and AI in the end of the world.
The setting of the cyberpunk mechanical style and Zen-like Buddhist country is very fresh and has never been seen before. The author's imagination is wide-ranging and his thinking is unconstrained.
I think this article belongs to the science fiction apocalyptic wasteland consciousness awakening stream
Very creative, the plot is full of science fiction and Zen, a very interesting novel
The story is wonderfully conceived.
Very exciting! Come on!
Mechanical Buddha In the Mechanical Buddha Country, human consciousness will remain forever. Is it immortality or bliss? Is the awakening of individual consciousness striving for independence or seeking death?
The author proposes a novel thing: mechanical relics. What I am most curious about is, can mechanical or electronic AI really replace human consciousness?
The subject matter is novel, the writing is beautiful, and it is rich in philosophy, bringing people into a novel world.
This is a very excellent work. I was immersed in it unconsciously. I will give it five stars.
Clear ideas, rich and colorful content, and fascinating storylines
This is the first time I have seen such a subject. The author's imagination is so big and novel that it directly tears apart the paradox of freedom of consciousness.
The writing is smooth and engaging. The plot is so intense that you can't stop watching it!
The author's novel concept is novel, ingenious and very interesting.
A very creative novel, the plot is very vivid, the author is very thoughtful, and it is very interesting to read.
The rhythm is well controlled and relaxed. The concept is unique and unconventional.
The work feels good, the writing is very good, and the content is very rich!
It has novel ideas, good subject matter, fits the science fiction situation, and is very readable.
The savior of the book shortage, well written, I recommend everyone to read it
The subject matter of the novel is good, the description of the apocalypse is very vivid and full of creativity. The background is well rendered and has a strong sense of immersion.
A very good novel, very contagious
