A cyberpunk novel that deeply explores self-identity and existential crises in the digital age. In a world where interpersonal relationships increasingly rely on interfaces and identities are increasingly defined by data flows, "systems" are not only a tool, but also an invisible hand that intervenes in cognition and shapes relationships.
The story opens with a paradox-filled "System Prompt" that reveals the core dilemma of modern life: How do we maintain a balance between the recommendations of algorithms and our own intuition? When mobile phone positioning, social portraits, and consumer recommendations define "who you are" all the time, where does the real "I" exist? The characters in the book struggle between the rift between their virtual identities and their real selves, from the confusion of trying to understand their friends' motives, to the paradox of "feeling lonely despite being overloaded with information," to the blurred reflections on the boundaries between products and humanity. The plot is like memory fragments scattered in the digital ocean, piecing together a contemporary picture of connection and alienation.
