I am currently writing the eight-part series The Computational Universe. This series represents my life’s work and my deepest understanding of philosophy. The themes of book 1, Xinglong Awakening, encompass artificial intelligence, the evolution of civilizations, social ethics, and the nature of the universe. Beneath these grand themes lie the agonies of individual humans. The first movement of this story unfolds with a tragic, cold, and somber tone.

Civilization and Pain

My writing is defined by the Tianxuan Broken Bridge—an ancient landmark of the Xinglong Civilization that represents both the necessary path toward technological advancement and an impassable chasm. I focus not only on the spectacle of a starship taking flight, which marks the beginning of the story, but also on the ordinary souls that might be scorched by its exhaust.
