After the sudden death of programmer Li Mo, he traveled to 2077 when technology collapsed and classes were torn apart, and he became a "recycling expert" struggling to survive in a garbage dump. In order to save his sister who suffered from cyberpsychosis, he took on a dangerous mission and sneaked into the abandoned Deep Blue Laboratory to search for a mysterious USB flash drive. Unexpectedly, he uncovered the bloody truth behind "consciousness uploading" - the multinational company "Eternal Life Technology" was conducting a "consciousness fusion" experiment that dehumanized people, abducting poor people as experimental subjects in an attempt to create digital immortal monsters and absolutely loyal super soldiers.
The USB flash drive in Li Mo's hand has become the key to the competition between all parties. While on the run, he met Xiaodao, a young man with a similar life experience, and was approached by an early experiment survivor who called himself the "Night Watcher". He was forced to be involved in a desperate struggle to prevent the complete annihilation of human consciousness. Faced with the pursuit of corporate armed forces, the siege of underground gangs, and the mystery of his own "awakened" identity, Li Mo must fight his way through the wasteland of data - not only to save his sister, but also to uncover the darkest secrets of this cyber world, and to regain the dignity and future of mankind in the abyss of neon and blood.
This is a novel that combines cyberpunk, wasteland survival and suspense adventure. It explores the ethics of technology, class oppression and the glimmer of human nature, and tells a hard-core science fiction story about betrayal, redemption and resistance.
