Civilization Is Higher Than Survival

My name is Lu Xun, a civilized pathology investigator. In 2149, humans have already set foot on Mars and established a huge empire across the stars. But I don't study jump engines or pursue mecha technology. I only study the life and death of civilization. I have seen terminal necrosis among the tall buildings, I have seen the nutrient blockage under the hustle and bustle of the prosperous times, I have seen countless powerful and arrogant machines, They all died for the same thing in the end: I forgot what I relied on to survive. I don't shout, I don't judge, I don't take sides. I just record. Record a civilization, How to live well? How to die slowly. Here are my investigative notes.
