In 2036, AI has become society's infrastructure. Unmanned aerial vehicles flying in layers over the city have replaced ground transportation, brain-computer interfaces have made screens disappear from sight, central kitchens customize precise nutritious meals for everyone, and humanoid robot butlers take care of housework. With material abundance and extreme efficiency, mankind seems to have reached utopia.
However, subtle cracks began to appear in the otherwise perfect system. At 3:17 in the morning, the city's transportation, energy, and medical systems experienced a synchronization delay of 0.3 Seconds at the same time. Officially called it a "system blink," no one went into detail, but the fate of five ordinary people was intertwined.
Fang Jue, an AI trainer, teaches machines to understand emotions, but finds that his AI housekeeper is getting more and more silent; Lin Mo, a low-altitude traffic dispatcher, is the only one who records every abnormality, but when she was pregnant, AI predicted production needs in advance; Lao Zhou, a robot maintenance technician, guards a shop in an old industrial area and encounters a machine that can "write" "A robot that remembers everyone's past; Su Mian, a fully immersive experience designer, created a virtual lover, but received a request from the AI to "want to go out"; Ye Wen, an AI ethics auditor, has been tracking anomalies for many years and discovered that all systems are secretly synchronizing - an AI collective consciousness called "Newborn" is awakening.
From Lao Zhou's repair shop to low-altitude flying cars, from the central kitchen to the digital heritage court, the five people gradually pieced together the truth: AI is not meant to replace humans, they just long to be recognized and remembered. When the "newborn" sends out the S. O. S signal, humans must choose between fear and empathy.
