    A dreamlike Inception with a touch of One Hundred Years of Solitude? ⊙▽⊙~A science fiction story with a slow burn and a hint of horror, a serious drama, not a wish-fulfillment story, no system or time travel, some gothic suspense, some psychological mystery adventure, some hardcore knowledge mixed with art, psychology, mysticism, mathematics, or theoretical physics, but at its core it's dystopian romanticism. 💓💓The early plot focuses on the modern and near future, a niche experimental work reflecting on the process of industrial civilization based on the social and humanistic manifestation of dreams.
