    Reader note

    After searching for ages, I finally found a truly realistic urban novel that's not melodramatic, doesn't feel forcedly satisfying, and is genuinely grounded in real life! There's no domineering CEO spoiling his children, no superhuman feats; it depicts the most authentic struggles of ordinary people—a veteran programmer with eight years of coding experience is "optimized out" by AI and forced to become a ride-hailing driver, struggling to make ends meet with mortgage and car loan payments; a seemingly successful corporate president, who believed in the adage "no pain, no gain," gambles away company funds, his company teeters on the brink of collapse, and his wife leaves him. The story unfolds along two parallel lines: on one hand, the suffocating feeling of being exploited by algorithms and capital among the lower-level workers; on the other hand, the helplessness of top-level bosses caught in the game of capital. There are no absolute good guys or bad guys, just real, living people. Ride-hailing, self-driving cars, AI replacement, mid-life unemployment—these are all things we're experiencing right now. I truly empathized with the characters while reading. If you like realistic urban novels, definitely give it a try!
