The Pingjing Chronicles

Robots indistinguishable from real people bow before us on all fours and worship us as gods. We can play with them as we please, treating them as devoted wives or lowly slaves, as we see fit.

But if you aren’t prepared to be made obsolete, you risk being replaced by robots.

We understand that only the rich can live happily, because they control vast fortunes and make whatever rules they please.

We understand that, as poor people, all we can do is stand beneath a thousand-story skyscraper and gaze up at the dark sky.

Will it rain from above? Will the rich shower us with fizzy cola or sugar-filled milk tea?

The city is a riot of color, yet as dark as night. We, who have embraced machines, seem so cold.

Seventy years into the future, we will search for our true selves amid the tides of darkness.

Watch as the protagonist finds a patch of pure land to call his own in this chaotic world.
