What will the world be like in the future? Robots walking the streets and shopping, magnificent buildings reaching into the clouds, and human ruins left behind? Or graffiti steeped in postmodern style, and artificial intelligence with human emotions? If anything becomes possible, will the greatest machines become our rulers?
Ding Yi is a researcher studying emotions in artificial intelligence. He watches as the AI machine he developed is poised to become a breakthrough that will once again lead human civilization. But a nightmare for humanity has already begun to creep up on them. No one can resist the forces of nature. A string of human-caused events sends the course of human progress hurtling toward extinction. Carrying both emotion and reason, two contradictory aspects of human thought, Ding Yi continues toward destruction in this conflict-ridden society. Or perhaps he will make it to the sea of stars.
