When the wall collapses, don't rush to pick up the bricks. First, see if what's waiting for you outside the wall is your other self who got lost many years ago.
A story about how differences coexist, starting in the silence of a family dinner and ending with a song sung to the stars.
At the moment when the countdown reaches zero, facing the boundless sea of stars, humanity's first official self-introduction is issued:
"We are here, we are so present."
This is not a novel about the war between humans and AI.
This is a long, clumsy, and hopeful etude about how humans, AI, planetary consciousness, interstellar exiles, and space administrators try to learn "symbiosis" together on the premise of understanding each other's "way of existence."
Core Proposition: When the forms of wisdom are infinitely diverse, should we choose to move towards a single and perfect "Great Harmony", or should we embrace imperfect but real "resonance"?
Story span: From the family dinner table in the near future, to the deep-sea conversations in the solar system, to the existence of civilization on a galaxy scale.
