When "Singles' Day" becomes a nightmare for non-single people, when you are controlled by a chip implanted in your brain and are willing to abandon everything to do hard work far away from the earth, when we can only find comfort in the virtual world, when technology can perfectly simulate our faces and commit crimes everywhere... Will the speeding train of technology take us into the abyss, or towards a better future? "Land of Hope" is a collection of hard science fiction novels jointly contributed by seven emerging writers, including Chen Qiufan, Jiang Bo, and Ian Macleod, who were shortlisted for the Nebula Award, Hugo Award, and other outstanding awards. It tells the story of seven futures guided by the speeding train of technology - a future dominated by cutting-edge technologies such as algorithms, facial recognition, virtual reality, VR games, and artificial intelligence. The fate of mankind is ups and downs, struggling, and resisting in these complex, thrilling, and confusing technological worlds. When standing at that point, I believe no one can continue to remain calm.
