Read “Long Night After Fire”

Original link: http://mingxin.life/index.php/archives/270/

It’s been two months since I was quarantined at home, and I was so bored that I turned to the internet again. After rummaging through a few rubbish books, I turned to the embers.
The background of the story is the apocalyptic wasteland. The protagonist was born in a big power, but he is not satisfied with a stable life. He is determined to save all mankind, investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world, and uncover the truth step by step, finally saving the world. The main line of the story is so old-fashioned, but the plot is quite new.

  1. The protagonist is mentally ill and often talks about saving all mankind. Perhaps it is psychosis that makes it so “reasonable” to have such lofty ambitions to be a truly pure human being. Conversely, such a pure person would probably only be regarded as mentally ill in the current environment.
  2. The unprecedented development of science and technology has not only brought great enrichment of material life, but also unprecedentedly enhanced the ability of human beings to destroy themselves. Brain science, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, biological weapons, nuclear weapons and other technologies are breaking through the limitations of human beings, not only ethical but also human society. Various technological breakthroughs will surely reconstruct the entire human society. The power of technology is so intoxicating that no one can stop the momentum of technological development. From the microscopic level, it is the specific people who are promoting the progress of science and technology, and from the macroscopic level, it is the science and technology that wraps the human beings forward, and makes great strides towards the infinite stars and seas or the forbidden area of ​​gods. On this endless journey, a little carelessness will be a disaster for most human beings. However, only a catastrophe serious enough to threaten all human beings can cause widespread reflection and slow down or even stop the pace of scientific and technological exploration.
