I didn't have the habit of keeping a diary since I was a child, to be precise, I began to write a serious record of my life at the age of sixteen. At that time, even my peers who insisted on keeping a diary were most likely to use voice recording or computer typing, but I switched to paper notebooks, because "they" controlled the entire virtual world and most of the real world, only paper, and they couldn't monitor it all the time. But now, I'm in prison, and I don't even have a chance to write a small note, so I keep a diary in my head, and I feel like I have a good memory. My purpose is not to keep it for my future self to reminisce about the past, but to write this diary on paper one day for future generations to see, not just for myself to indulge in memories, which are not good.

Mom and Dad came to visit me almost every week, and I felt that I owed them so much that I was too ashamed to even look up at them, even though they kept asking me how I was doing. Maybe they're used to worrying about me, and the number of gray hairs hasn't increased, and there's nothing more shocking than the steel valley era when the world was in the same place, even if I went to prison. Of course, they also visited Wen Qitai at the same time, and my cousin and I were in the same prison. The cousin-in-law ran away with a wealthy programmer and mercilessly pushed her biological daughter Wen Lei to Wen Qitai. Wen Lei was fostered in my home, and occasionally came with my parents to visit, but there was obvious resentment in her eyes. Wen Qitai became more and more silent, and even when he worked with me, he said little, I am a minor, plus Ganggu New Deal, only sentenced to five years, and Wen Qitai will probably have eight years of commutation of sentence even if he makes meritorious service every year, and by then, Wen Lei has also reached the age of talking about marriage.

To be honest, the cost of this upheaval, which controlled global power and wealth in a matter of hours, despite the thousands of lives that did not cooperate (official figures), was still modest or even modest, and focused on electronics and information technology. Those of us who were prisoners of the Old World (the official historiographical title), especially Wen Qitai and I who had just become prisoners on the eve of the Revolution, were still prisoners, but we were not tortured. We don't have a lot of labor intensity, we eat the same meals as ordinary prison staff, we have our own basketball court and other exercise facilities, we even go online once a week, and we organize a projection movie every month. It's just that when surfing the Internet, we can only browse the web, can't leave a message to express opinions, in fact, what does it matter, I heard a corrupt criminal who just came in whispered, there is no freedom outside and inside, this person once saw the groupism in a chat software group and said angrily that this change is not necessarily progress, and the personal safety of all mobile phone users is not guaranteed, but he said and suddenly his avatar dimmed, and then he never spoke, this group still did not disband, but no one in the group dared to make a sound anymore. Commenting on the current situation in online chats regardless of the occasion will end up inexplicably and inevitably disappearing in the contemporary world where the virtual and the real meet.

So as long as you still rely on strength to eat, and you don't have any freedom, what is the difference between being outside and being in prison? I met the chairman of Steel Valley, the ruler of the world today, Charles Vinrecent, a tall Eastern European man who looked about forty or fifty years old, with one eye shining red, but he told the world that he was originally blind in that eye, and then he had transplanted an electronic eye through Steel Valley's advanced technology to rebuild the light. When the name Ganggu became the first search term and common sense known to the world, Wen Ruisen's appearance reminded me of the dialogue between Liu Yan and An Hongbo at the beginning, "The blind man of Ganggu", could it be him?

He has the advantage of never talking about his exploits or directing his subordinates to create a worldwide cult of his own, preferring to promote electronics and information technology represented by Ganggu Technology products, and advocating the worship of science. This man is a man of great eloquence, witty words, humorous and very magnetic voice, a representative of a mature and attractive successful man, and a very relatable and incendiary political figure, so he has attracted countless women of all ages, but I don't like him, I have a vague feeling that only demons can be majestic in broad daylight, and real heroes often shine alone in the night.

However, this overwhelming propaganda has had an excellent effect, and the worldview of the younger generation has changed from shaky and confused to a rock-solid admiration for electronics and information technology, and they are all the heirs of the Ganggu people, and even the students who are looking for jobs as adults are determined to be proud to enter Ganggu and its ancillary industries. Regardless of race, you must choose a Caucasian name, you can choose it yourself, but you must not take it. This rare coercive measure, which did not cause any harm to the actual interests of individuals, was quickly promoted, and I wrote on my new identity card and a certificate worthy of irony that ordinary people did not have, the prisoner's card, a meaningless combination of English words that perhaps white people do not have, Dior Brando, and every time I saw this nonsense name, I wanted to laugh. Although the network does not implement the real-name system, through high-tech monitoring, no matter how to hide yourself, the name is just a code name.

At the same time, mobile phones have become extremely important as an important monitoring system to control people's minds, and it can replace almost everything: telephones, computers, car keys, home appliance remote controls, radio, movie projectors, televisions, and even for shopping and lawsuits, but it also has another function that everyone knows, but dare not say directly - all people who have mobile phones, whether they turn on or off, whether they call or not, every word they say is under the control of Ganggu's civilian main computer "Blue Hub". As soon as he turned sixteen, he had to buy a mobile phone, otherwise he would be considered a rebel and imprisoned. Prisoners like me, and even murderers, are treated much better than those of thought prisoners, who are not locked up with us, and there are many rumors that they are subjected to horrific and inhuman torture.

Gradually, Wen Lei came to visit more often, and she became more cheerful than before, and from her various mobile phone functions, I could see that the world was improving at least one thing - people's quality of life. Even though I was in prison, I could already feel that human beings could enjoy far more convenience and comfort than the kings and nobles of ancient times, whether they were fed, clothed, sheltered, or transported. However, there seems to be a fly in the ointment: although Ganggu claims the supremacy of science, what it calls science is the electronics and information industry in a narrow sense, and such companies dominate global business in terms of stocks and actual business, while scholars and experts engaged in agriculture, forestry, sideline animal husbandry and fishery, especially those engaged in genetic research, have extremely pitiful incomes, no one cares, and they are held hostage everywhere in the law, and they are gradually separated from this industry. As a result, the so-called science is one-sided, and the electronics, metals, mineral energy, real estate and other industries have soared all the way to the peak of human history, while on the contrary, the biochemical industry has gradually fallen into a trough, becoming a joke for everyone to ridicule and abuse on stage and in film and television works.

This will inevitably lead to extremes for people who are very accomplished in biochemical skills, but who are born at the wrong time, and whose hopes of making a big career have been dashed. In addition, at the beginning of the new era of Steel Valley, a large number of mineral deposits were frantically exploited, and human resources were about to be exhausted, which was by no means alarmist, so those strange philosophical sects that worship all creatures on the earth and the well-fed buddies who are determined to live a low-carbon and environmentally friendly green life also cause chaos with the unambitious guys in front. Just last Tuesday, a poison gas attack on the central business district of Seoul, a key development city for Ganggu technology, killed hundreds of people (official figures) and killed thousands more. At this time, the whole world was taken aback, and people woke up to the realization that in any era, there will be non-mainstream people who are against the establishment. Although Ganggu did not pay much attention to biochemical technology, it was said that there were still biochemical scientists at their headquarters, so the experts arrived and identified a startling result: the poison gas was not a poison gas bomb made by artificial chemistry, but the result of the collective release of biological poison gas by thousands of poisonous insects and a large number of poisonous plants cultivated by special methods. Then came the barren Africa of Steel Valley, where regulations were weaker, and the spectacle of several regional governments being flooded with hordes of wild animals on the same day. Then came the chaos, and in the Americas, from Mexico to Brazil, many citizens who were originally staunch believers in electronic technology claimed to have seen dead souls and zombies crawling out of their graves. In the two river basins of the Middle East, the huge engineering team of Steel Valley frantically extracted energy, but lost their souls overnight, and the number of crazy workers increased dramatically, all of which produced serious hallucinations. At the same time, the provinces of the world that were forcibly divided by Steel Valley occurred at the same time, and many puppet leaders supported by Steel Valley were killed by assassins who came and went without a trace.
