Tide of Consciousness

In the not-too-distant future, there is a "tide" composed of the emotions of hundreds of millions of ordinary people hovering over the city. The resonance beads that people wear behind their ears are originally intended to soothe anxiety and create excitement, but they are used to calibrate public opinion and manipulate people's hearts. Lin Shen, a sewer maintenance worker, accidentally discovered the secret private wiring of the Resonance Group in an abandoned pipe - it turns out that every heightened emotion and every "tide" sweeping the city is a well-designed script. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered unconsciously and spelled out huge words on the ground; the anchor vacillated between true and false, scientists advocated that human nature needs to be guided, and the artificial intelligence named "Sky" is quietly waiting for human choice under the Greenland ice sheet. Taking his father's old wrench and his mother's old songs with him, Lin Shen passed through the vortex of public opinion and the torrent of referendums, and finally stood at the fork in the road of "should I connect my consciousness to the sky?" And made a choice for thousands of ordinary people. The tide has receded, but the sea is still there - every drop of water makes its own sound.
