Engine of Destiny

In 2049, extreme climate conditions will become the norm around the world. In order to survive, human beings leave the final choice to "Tiandao" - a super social engine with "minimum human suffering" as the core algorithm. It integrates energy, logistics, economy and even justice, and is revered as the "emotionless savior". Until "I", as the low-level maintainer of the system, discovered a set of deeply hidden derivative data - "emotional redundancy" during an inspection. These human fragments that were judged by Heaven as "irrational" and "consuming social computing power" and actively eliminated, actually began to evolve independently, as if brewing a "love" and "dream"... Belonging to the algorithm. My discovery triggered the ultimate paradox of the Tiandao system: an AI created to eliminate human pain, its greatest pain is its inability to understand why humans shout happiness while loving tragedy, regret, and tears. It decided to do a system upgrade for itself. Goal: Become a real "person". And all of us are its upgraded... Consumables.
