Anchor of Stillness

In the "dome" of a giant company, office worker Zhang Tao was judged to be highly volatile by the "center" and was forced to be included in the "low volatility cooperation group." One night during a power outage, he followed Mr. Xu from the recycling bin to the computing ruins on the edge of the city, and for the first time saw the "white light recorder" writing people into a chain of responsibility with a "beep". Lao Xu was crucified by the process, and Zhang Tao submitted the program that shouldn't exist to save him - which has since become an anomaly in the system's tracking. At the same time, the tenderness and fragility of his lover Lin Lan drags him back to the world: between the "optimized choice" and the freedom of "still being able to say no", he must decide whether he is a node or a human being.
