In 2048, artificial intelligence will be deeply integrated into society, and autonomous driving, unmanned factories, and smart services will become the norm. After the transformation of the real estate industry, a large number of idle residential areas are in urgent need of revitalization.
Qian Xiaoqiang, a former real estate agent who has been unemployed for a year, applied for a job in the "Twin Cities Project" led by the government - transforming the "ghost town" in the west of the city into the "Paradise City" ecological memorial park and the "Peach Blossom Spring" comprehensive retirement community. Here, he met Sun Taotao, an idealistic doctor of sociology, Fu Xiaoyuan, a delicate and tenacious memorial etiquette specialist, and 89757, an intelligent robot that is constantly learning "empathy".
"Paradise City" is not only a cemetery where ashes are placed, but also a cultural space where family traditions are passed down and care is taken to pursue the future; "Peach Blossom Spring" is not a traditional nursing home, but a happy home where the elderly can be taken care of, have fun, learn, and be productive. Here, the unemployed find value again, the elderly rejuvenate, entrepreneurs reflect on the meaning of life, and the rich second generation realizes their dreams through singing.
With a humorous and warm tone, the novel explores the value of "people" in the AI era - technology can replace labor, but it cannot replace sincerity and connection. In the end, humans and AI coexist harmoniously, and the concept of "technology for good and people first" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Fireworks in the world are the most precious; science and technology are good, and the future is promising.
