You go to the wilderness

⭐
Zhao Song's new short story collection is about "wilderness, robots, and strangers in the city."
⭐
The characters in "You Go to the Wilderness" often drift in a state of wanton abandon, responding to events as they come and letting them go, their faces etched with the common expressions of the times. Yet, the novel subtly unleashes a life-affirming nuclear bomb, allowing us to once again confront the seemingly empty world, discovering a sense of openness amidst desolation, and expanding our possibilities for survival and ethical choices.
⭐
A half-awake "moon landing" scene, a trip to the aquarium, the moment you clearly see the distance between familiar people, a high-dimensional conversation between humans and robots that transcends ideological boundaries... These everyday moments, seemingly nuclear-level, flash upon us, and it's as if we've awakened from amnesia. The most common occurrence in life isn't repetition, but rejection. Those men and women who seem to live among people, but in reality, trek through the wilderness, are just like you and me.
