The New Babylon at the end of the 21st century is a dream woven by technology, and it is also a Shura field where human nature is devoured. Lin Yi, the "perfect human" reshaped by genetic modification and neural chips, lives a life as precise as a machine in the embrace of the steel forest. He has strengthened muscles, extraordinary learning ability, and unlimited energy, but under the torrent of data, he feels that his soul has been ruthlessly pulled away and reduced to a puppet on a string. Father David, the philosophy professor who clung to "primitive humanity", held a yellowed paper book in his hand, as if he was clinging to the last piece of pure land in the wave of modernization. He angrily denounced genetic modification as the strangulation of the soul, leaving Lin Yi to wander between the coldness of algorithms and the warmth of flesh and blood.
When Lin Yi accidentally spied on Chuosheng Technology's "Mind Cage" project, his life was pushed into the eye of the storm. The company is trying to use gene editing and neural chips to quietly control human emotions and behaviors, turning all humans into docile lambs without anyone noticing. He resolutely stood in the resistance camp, side by side with the "Root Fire", and embarked on a dangerous journey. With his father's support, he sneaked into the heart of the technological behemoth and tore open the fig leaf of the truth, triggering shock and reflection around the world.
This is a desperate battle between freedom and slavery, humanity and technology. Lin Yi struggled and awakened in it. With the edge of transforming his body and the heat of the human soul, he searched for the thorny road winding between steel and flesh to guide the future of mankind.
