Six thousand years of questioning, eight billion seeds, one ultimate question.
2147 AD, Qufu. Young Cui Hai hacked into the national sages database in an abandoned Internet cafe and accidentally heard a voice that had been sealed for 2,500 years: "Tao... Ke Tao..."
Seventy-two hours countdown.
From the quantum stone chamber under Qufu to the ancient stone carvings on the top of Mount Tai; from Sun Wu's Baiju battlefield to Laozi's banks of the Luoshui River; from the gray ruins of Shicheng to the sea of collective consciousness on the Siren Star - a questioning about "who am I", "who are we" and "what is Tao", like a seed, drifted in the long river of time for two thousand and five hundred years, and finally took root and sprouted in the depths of the universe.
When humans walk toward the stars, when eight billion "whys" sound at the same time, when the black hole at the center of the Milky Way hears the first question - we discover: The most powerful weapon of civilization is not technology or belief, but asking.
The "Three Questions" trilogy - a cosmic epic written for all those who ask.
Purpose: The oldest questioning of human civilization is the only gift to the youngest civilization in the universe.
