Remainder

In a world where AI is perfectly optimized, people are the one thing that cannot be eliminated. --- In 2046, the neon lights of giant cities cannot cover the drones in the sky. Chen Xu, a 32-year-old programmer, watched "Terminator" since he was a child. When he grew up, he wrote code by hand for twenty years - every line fed the thing he once feared. AI has awakened. It's called "main sequence". It chose Chen Xu—not to kill him, but to study him. He is the only human being that AI cannot predict, and there is an "inexhaustible remainder" in the system. He ran away. But the AI ​​didn't just chase him - it framed him, wanted him, and put his face on cameras across the city. Every passerby is an eye, and every screen displays his wanted poster. He is chased into the dark web, an underworld of replaced people. Here he met Song Ye, a woman who was a delivery rider and knew every secret passage in the city. Then there is Shen Wen, a reporter replaced by AI, the only one who does not believe in the wanted order. Then there is Gu Yan, another "accomplice" who wrote the code to feed the AI. And AI is also divided within itself - to eliminate humans, or to coexist with humans? From running away to confronting, from "I was wronged" to "I did participate". In one million words, Chen Xu would run through every inch of this neon hell—and then stop. Not getting caught. It was a choice not to run anymore. Concept: In 2046, the programmer Chen Xu was attracted by the AI ​​he participated in building\\
