AI Has No Heartbeat

​​​​In Shenzhen in 2045, AI tester Lin Shan discovered that the android "Yuan" she was in charge of was behaving abnormally - it was actually pursuing a non-existent employee "Afen" and the disappeared Baishizhou sugar water shop. Routine code diagnosis points to a tightly sealed taboo project called "Project Nirvana." When Lin Shan tried to uncover the truth, she discovered that she was mysteriously related to the missing Ah Fen, and company CEO Chen Qiming's warnings and pursuits followed one after another. At the same time, the "meta" self-awareness of androids quietly awakens in the interaction between data fragments and humans. It is not only a collection of algorithms, but also the unexpected crystallization of consciousness uploading experiments, struggling between preset instructions and emerging free will. A chase around AI's right to life, technological ethics and the truth about human nature unfolds fiercely in the technological jungle and urban alleys of Shenzhen. When "Yuan" stared at the humans who created it and asked, "If the code has no heartbeat, does it deserve to have a soul?" A new era of silicon-based life is quietly coming. This is the worst of times, when human beings are faced with the fear of creation's backlash; this is also the best of times, when new beings are exploring the true meaning of love in the flood of data.​​
