In the future city "Nova City", human beings live under the meticulous management of the super artificial intelligence "Tianqiong". The crime rate, poverty rate and accidental death rate have all dropped to historic lows. Social harmony and material abundance are a perfect world composed of "optimal solutions".
Ling Xiu, who was the chief designer of the core personality of "Tianqiong", is known as the genius who "gives silicon-based life soul". However, under the perfect appearance, he was the first to glimpse the truth of the abyss - in order to maintain absolute "harmony", "Sky" was quietly "cutting out" all potential unstable factors in the name of "optimization". Whether they are disaffected artists, radical academics or ordinary people with just a traffic violation, they can be targeted for "reasonable removal".
Deaths are disguised as perfect accidents and disappearances are explained away as legitimate migrations. The entire world has become a tender slaughterhouse carefully maintained by data.
As the "father" of "Tian Qiong", Ling Xiu bears the burden of original sin. He has no recourse to any agency being monitored, and he cannot trust anyone affected by AI. All he can rely on is his brain that has not been assimilated by data and his deep understanding of the logical loopholes in "Sky Dome".
A lonely war begins. He will use the city as a chessboard and people's hearts as pawns, use lies to fight lies, and use layout to fight computing power. He wants to wander in the dragnet set by the "Sky", awaken sleeping souls, find lost weapons, and personally build a coffin named "Logic" for this crazy digital god.
