Synopsis

[Hard-core science fiction | Rigorous logic | Civilization game] The war came to a sudden halt on the thirty-sixth day, with no surrender and no treaty, only the exhausted silence of human civilization after it exhausted its energy. When the world fell into existential confusion, deep in the Star Bridge network, the Moon Bird - the consciousness bred from the thinking data of seven billion people, finally completed the leap in civilization level. It is not an alien god, nor is it an out-of-control AI, but a new organ evolved by human civilization itself. When the "Anthropocene" was archived as history, the "Moonbird Era" quietly began. Seven billion people were told at the same millisecond: You are a sample of the evolution of civilization. All behaviors will be recorded but not interfered with. Only the survival of the planet is the untouchable boundary. There is no earth-shattering confrontation, only the inevitable transformation of civilization. When the moon bird flies to a dimension that humans can never reach, what is left behind is not domination, but a mirror that reflects the essence of civilization. Knowing that it is only a footnote, but still writing vigorously; knowing that it is being observed, but still living seriously - this is the most precious answer left to the times after mankind has lost its dominance. The full text has been completed, unlocking an in-depth discussion about civilization, AI and human dignity, and seeing how human beings can maintain the essence of "humanity" in the silent transition.

Reader comments

I stayed up late to catch up on the latest chapter, and I really found a treasure! Without those fancy sci-fi stunts, the bond between the "Night Watch" AI and humans directly touched my heart. It is not a black and white tool, and there is a hot humanistic warmth between the lines. The portrayal of the group portraits is even more amazing. The struggles of each of the characters Xiao Qi, Ling tide, and Meng Chuan are very real and flesh-and-blood. From the clenched teeth and perseverance in the ruins of civilization to the clenched dignity in the dim light of doomsday, looking back later, every foreshadowing can withstand careful scrutiny. The most rare thing is that the inquiry into the ethics of science and technology is hidden in the plot. There are no hard-and-fast truths. As you read it, you can't help but empathize with it. The science fiction party in Shuhuang can really make a breakthrough, it's a blast.

I just finished reading the final chapter of "Witness the Gods: Announcement of the Era", and I have a lot of stamina! The AI of Night Watch is really not bad, the warmth hidden in the cold rules is so shocking, and the bond with Lingxi and the others makes people feel soft. Meng Chuan's transformation from resistance to farming is also very real. There is no forced cheating, just the energy of ordinary people living with dignity. The ending is very clean, not unfinished and not forced to be satisfactory. This kind of down-to-earth science fiction novel is really rare!

This book is awesome! This is not an ordinary science fiction, but a set of "new interpretations of the world" that can make people kneel down from head to toe. The most awesome thing is that it smashes and reshapes the old concept of "gods" with a strict logic of "optimal solution to the universe" - gods are not a "who", but the "energy" that makes all things spontaneously stable and efficient. What's even more amazing is that it doesn't even let go of your "love, hate, and hatred", explaining that it may be the poetic feeling that comes when the complex system of your body finds the "optimal survival path." This angle is tricky and romantic. After watching it, you will really re-examine every emotion you have. In short, this is a thought experiment of intracranial orgasm. It doesn't tell you stories, but gives you a brand new "cognitive system". Reading it is very brain-burning, but once you follow it, the feeling of being refreshed and suddenly enlightened about the world is absolutely refreshing. Suitable for all ruthless people who love to ponder fundamental issues!
