In the "Nine Dimensions" of the futuristic city that is layered like a maze, everyone's life is marked, distributed, and monitored by the Skynet algorithm. Zhao Xing, an alien who cannot be archived by data, was deemed an "invalid existence" by the system due to an algorithm loophole and was hunted down by the whole city. He is no longer a symbol of resistance, but a shadow that cannot even prove his identity. Zhao Xing does not fight to overthrow the system, he longs to find himself - the soul that survives in the digital torrent. He sneaked into the memory storage area, the black market data port, and the personality reconstruction workshop, just to piece together the true self. However, Zhao Xing soon discovered that the city's core algorithm was quietly rewriting the entire social order with his "absence" as a variable. Every escape is approaching an ultimate question: when the meaning of human beings is swallowed up by codes, is resistance against the external system or against one's own disappearance? With a lightning-like rhythm, the novel incorporates identity crisis and technological philosophy. Zhaoxing's lonely struggle will subvert all your definitions of "resistance."
