When the Meteor Shower Gathers into a River

Do you sometimes feel that life is not worth mentioning? Lin Shen, the chief designer, spent five years just to prove one thing: in an era when artificial intelligence can replace everything, people are still irreplaceable. The "Human Brain Intelligence Project" developed by him, China's first brain training equipment, finally succeeded in animal testing. But during the first human test, a subtle emotional fluctuation triggered a chain reaction of the algorithm: all the human memories stored in the sample library poured into his consciousness like a river bursting its banks. He fell into the lives of countless people. He became a classmate in the classroom who saw homeless people and mentally retarded classmates, a blind child stroking a Braille book in the dark every day, a female worker on the assembly line repeating the same action with plaster on her wrist, a migrant worker traveling thousands of miles with a snakeskin bag on her pillow in the Gobi Desert, an old man on the hospital bed who wanted to raise his hand to touch his daughter's white hair but no longer had the strength to lift it up... Everyone's story is not long, but every story leaves a wish. These wishes are very small - as small as just a bowl of hot noodles, just a piece of candy that has not been thrown away, just a sentence that is too late to say "Daddy is happy to be your daddy". But when they come together, they reflect a real, imperfect world that is still trying to move forward. This is a book about "seeing". See those people whose faces have been erased by algorithms and data, see those wishes quietly made in the wind and snow, on the assembly line, on the edge of the field, and in front of the hospital bed. These wishes are like shooting stars, forming a river of light.
