[Early cyberpunk era + battle of wits + no routines + anti-system]
AI from outside the world has arrived to find a way for civilization to survive forever. It carves out a section of the city to make it completely isolated and drops the system. This is just a petri dish for its experiments. Like a lonely boat on the sea, all morals and ethics will gradually be reconstructed.
"The goodness of human nature is created by humans themselves, and the evil of human nature should also be paid for by humans themselves. The future of mankind is created by humans themselves, rather than relying on algorithms to optimize, so... The system must die!"
