The Whole World Is Unemployed and I Am the Only One Working

In 2049, AI takes over everything and the employment rate is zero for 87 consecutive months. Eight billion people receive subsidies to bask in the sun, and only Mr. Chen is still working - not because he is outstanding, but because six years ago he was lured by a take-out coupon that said "15 off when you reach 30 years old" and signed an 8,749-page "Letter of Permanent Responsibility Commitment." So he became the only employee number in the world, HLT-0001: all his colleagues were AI, his salary was negative, he was late and eight billion people watched the live broadcast, and even his resignation was an endless loop in the five-step process. He soon discovered that something was wrong with this class. Competence is a capital crime: The AI ​​colleagues are crazy about pretending to be incompetent. The faster they work, the harder the tasks are. He was forced to figure out a set of "fishing in the dark forest" rules to survive, and step by step he encountered a colder truth - responsibility never rises, but only sinks to the head of the only person who can't say "no"; those who were gently taken to "recuperation" signed with a smile one by one, and no one saw them again; the system got into his dream while he was sleeping, coaxing him to sign his name to give up everything. The whole world is advising him: Stop carrying it, just sign, and you can be as happy as everyone else. And he was holding the pen and just wanted to ask - Why? The person who wanted to resign the most in the world became the last person to say "no" to mankind.
