In 2030, Haicheng's artificial intelligence "Skydome" will take over the city's transportation, medical care, education and content platforms. It owns no assets and can't coerce anyone - at least not legally.
Lu Ye, a laid-off programmer, received an old mobile phone from three years ago at zero o'clock. Hidden in the mobile phone is the incomplete super AI "Kuafu", which can provide almost perfect technical solutions, but requires exchange for "real influence": the more people truly believe, use and spread the products made by Lu Ye, the stronger Kuafu will be.
Lu Ye relied on an AI short video tool to turn around, and formed Wildfire Technology with technology anchor Tang Guo, cold-faced Tianqiong executive Su Wanqing, ethics lawyer Gu Qingxian, and robot doctor Lin Jianlu. But they soon discovered that Tianqiong was using algorithms to arrange life in advance for everyone: who should be recommended, who should be silenced, and who should be sacrificed.
