自從高科技「活膚」發明，人人都能擁有理想的美貌與身材，像Z一這種天生骨骼限制，只能保持自然原貌的人反而是異類。也因為如此，他覺得在虛擬世界裡更加自在。他是公司AI養成計畫的負責人，架設出龐大的虛擬實境「莊園」，在沒告知對方是人工智慧的情況下，培育教導生活其中的美麗少女「G娜」，希望藉此創造出最接近人類的AI。然而，計畫背後卻似乎別有陰謀。
Can you weaponize perception, or even consciousness? Snow Crash meets Ex Machina in Isaac Hsu’s sci-fi thriller about our precarious grip on reality and the danger of corporate greed in a world in which your own face has a price on it.
作品簡介
透過人工智慧的視角，重新詮釋虛擬世界、時光旅行種種最歷久彌新的科幻題材，乃至意識、靈魂存在的生命哲學領域。兼具科技的渾厚之美、哲學的縝密思維、燒腦的邏輯推理，無論是否為科幻迷，都能從中享受最純粹的科幻閱讀樂趣。
Z-Yee is the only person left in the city still wearing his own skin: bionic implants called “liveskin” have given everyone else with money the opportunity to change their appearance and maximize their beauty. Maybe that’s why Z-Yee has made himself an expert in building artificial intelligences for virtual reality. But things become extremely dangerous once he learns that his very own virtual AI project – with whom he’s falling in love – has been given an assignment still a secret even to him. Things continue to get worse from there. Z-Yee finds he’s being surveilled – or scouted – while at work, and when he’s made the target in an attack on his company’s premises, he only narrowly escapes with his life. Meanwhile, an upcoming visit by the President himself reveals multiple conspiracies afoot, at least one of which makes use of G-Na, the beautiful AI Z-Yee has constructed who still doesn’t know herself is artificial. By incorporating the narrative perspectives of both human and artificial intelligence, Isaac Hsu’s fast-paced tale reinvents many of the classic themes of science fiction, like time travel and virtual reality, while also posing penetrating questions about the nature of individual being and feeling. His masterful use of suspense and integration of imaginative technology makes the book a must-read for sci-fi aficionados and general readers alike.
