The Pons: the Silent Era

In the near future where brain-computer interface technology is popularized and human memory can be digitally stored and "optimized", behind a "National Brain Project" aimed at eliminating psychological trauma and building a harmonious society lies the ultimate shaping of collective memory and individual freedom of thought. This story uses a technical vulnerability as a trigger to tell how an idealistic programmer, an engineer who pursues the memory of his deceased wife, and an archivist who protects the historical truth uncover the black hole of technological ethics in a "silence of memory" crisis sweeping the world, asking "Is optimized memory still real life?" This question echoes the narrative direction of the essay "using global challenges as a mirror to deduce technology" and "using the abyss of the human heart as a volume to explore emotions."
