Introduction to "Neural Wasteland: The Cage of Consciousness"
In 2156, the neural grid covers 78% of the world's population. With access to the chip, you can buy memories, sell emotions, and communicate with thoughts. If you are kicked off the Internet, you will become a "dead person" in the civilized world.
Lin Shen was once a top neural data engineer until his wife Su Wanyin was "brain-killed" for exposing the truth - her consciousness was emptied, leaving only her body. He himself also had his neural links cut off and was exiled to a netless land called the "Wasteland".
There, he discovered an even more terrifying fact: every connection in the neural grid was silently devouring human consciousness. The three giants plan to increase coverage to 100% within one year.
When the whole world is voluntarily connected to the cage, a group of forgotten disconnected people have become the last hope of mankind.
Quit or die? No. This time, we chose to burn the entire system.
