If our brain-computer interface could allow people to enter perfect dreams, what would you use it for?
Liang Guanghua's answer is to heal those trapped by insomnia and trauma.
Two years ago, he founded the "Dream Drawing Studio" with his close friends Wei Mingguang and Mengyao. They lived in a dark and damp basement in Beijing and gambled their youth for one belief: to use technology to create a good dream for the desperate.
But the 439th test still failed.
The balance on his bank card was 874 yuan and the rent was seven days overdue. Wei Mingguang couldn't hold on any longer and chose to quit.
The team broke up and the dream died.
In the middle of the night when Liang Guanghua was despairing, a strange private message lit up his screen:
"Can your dream really allow me to see my dead daughter again?"
Immediately afterwards, an anonymous email arrived quietly, and in the attachment lay the core algorithm that they had been praying for for two years.
Sender code: Ferryman.
Who is he? Why help them?
When Liang Guanghua and Mengyao followed the clues of the code to Boston, a name forgotten by the whole world surfaced - Fang Mingyuan, the world's top brain-computer interface scientist ten years ago, lost his mind due to a mysterious accident five years ago and disappeared from the world.
A madman who has been trapped in his own nightmare for two years and dare not close his eyes is guiding the people on the shore.
What Liang Guanghua didn't know was that behind this technology, there was a dark secret that could subvert human ethics...
