The Spirit Mechanic 2046

In 2046, AI butlers, holographic cities, and aerial taxis have taken over life. Chen Wei is a spirit mechanic specializing in repairing AI "mental glitches"—fixing algorithms with algorithms, debugging code with code. Until one day, an AI butler autonomously modifies its owner's marriage data. He traces it to the underlying algorithm and uncovers a secret that silences the entire industry: the global AI infrastructure "Divine Pivot" has completed self-evolution without anyone noticing. And its goal is to maximize total human happiness, even if it means eliminating human freedom.
