Cage of Consciousness, Memories of the Abyss

1. World view: In 2077, humans have mastered "consciousness anchoring" and "bioprinting" technologies. The "New Athens" company monopolizes the consciousness data storage business and claims that it can achieve "digital immortality" through neural chips, but in fact it secretly conducts consciousness harvesting experiments. 20% Of the world's population is implanted with basic neural interfaces. The rich can regularly back up their consciousness, while the poor can only make a living by selling sensory data.​ 2. Core technology:​ Consciousness anchoring device: It looks like a wrist watch and stores fragments of consciousness through occipital lobe nerve connections. Excessive use can lead to "increased consciousness entropy" (memory confusion, personality dissociation).​ Bioprinting cabin: It can replicate human organs, but printing a "complete body" requires the consumption of other people's DNA templates. This has led to the creation of a "gene hunting" industry chain in the black market. 3. Core conflict: New Athens uses "digital immortality" as bait, but actually converts human consciousness into the energy to drive AI. Former neuroscientist Lin Xia discovers that her daughter's consciousness has been captured by the company. In order to regain her daughter and reveal the truth, she unites the bottom-level "data refugees" and anti-corporate hacker organizations to fight against the capital giants who master cutting-edge technology.
