ENTJ: Existential Age Fable

(A homage to "The Outsider" and "The Catcher in the Rye") When Camus' absurdity meets Salinger's rebellion, when the steel forest of the 21st century collides with the emptiness deep in human nature - the protagonist, Miao Zhao, an economics college student from an intellectual family, is standing on the fault line of the times. He is a sober person who deconstructs market logic in the classroom, a bystander who touches real suffering on the assembly line, and a wanderer in the countryside who asks for the meaning of existence. From the neon lights in Lujiazui to the roar of factories, from the regulations of libraries to the smoke in the countryside, he witnessed the entropy of order and the deterioration of human nature. In the collision of capital and ideals, in the pull of alienation and persistence, he asked over and over again: When the world becomes a theater of absurdity, how should individuals find the anchor point of existence? This was not a passionate resistance, but a lonely breakout. From the city to the countryside, from books to reality, Miao Zhao, with both pessimism and passionate love for the world, searches for his own undefined answer to survival in the wilderness of nothingness. When existentialism meets the Chinese texture of the 21st century, every soul struggling in absurdity can see his own shadow in his journey. (Since the first chapter of the novel is the chapter that establishes the background of the whole text, it may seem too professional and boring. It will gradually get better from the second chapter. I am confident that the writing, plot and ideas of this book will never let you down!)
