Table of Contents
Prologue: Three Questions
Part I: Metamorphosis — How Narratives Are Forged
| # | Chapter | Core Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The News You Read Is Not the Original | A day's worth of distortion, demonstrating the smallest unit of narrative manufacture |
| 2 | Game Over: The Cross-Border Entanglement of Microsoft and Sega | A 25-year chain of cause and effect, the truth is more complex than the emotion |
Part II: The Bill — Who Is Paying for the Story
| # | Chapter | Core Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | AI Begins Writing Itself — But Who Is Paying the Power Bill? | The two fuels of cross-subsidisation are both narrowing |
| 4 | AI Narrative Economics: When "Replacement" Becomes a Business | Narratives have a half-life, the market is learning to tell the difference |
| 5 | Information Feudalism: From Free Content to Knowledge Serfs | Functional collusion requires no meeting minutes |
| 6 | Someone Else's Tuition — The Ring 0 Landmine | Who paid the tuition, who received the diploma, and who is still stepping on the mine |
Part III: The Demon-Revealing Mirror — What AI Exposes
| # | Chapter | Core Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | The Distortion of Learning: Anxiety Is the Best Commodity | The distortion of education is not caused by AI; AI merely makes it impossible to ignore |
| 8 | Prose Is Not Content; Code Is Not an Asset | When production costs approach zero, do you actually have something to say? |
| 9 | The Dead Knot of Corporate Culture | AI can accelerate construction, but it cannot accelerate consensus |
| 10 | When Production Approaches Free, What Do Humans Still Need? | "The feeling of being understood" and "actually being understood" are two different things |
Part IV: The Line of Defence — Consciousness and Frameworks
| # | Chapter | Core Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | The Blade Is Sharp — But What Are You Cutting? | The essence of AI-collaborative writing: "intent" drives "expression" |
| 12 | Grasp the Meaning, Forget the Image — Word, Image, Intent | AI can produce word, imitate image, but cannot touch intent |
| 13 | Cognitive Models, Constraints, and the Capacity to Evolve | The Great Dao is formless — what is truly deep never appears on the surface |
Part V: Choices — The Path and the Person
| # | Chapter | Core Proposition |
|---|---|---|
| 14 | Why "The Benevolent Have No Enemies" Fails, and Why It Still Matters | Not invincible, but having made a choice |
| 15 | The Weight of Passion — The Bill for Pursuing What You Love | How much you have to pay after making the choice |
| 16 | The Stolen Ladder — Why Hard Work No Longer Brings Returns | Why everything has become more expensive |
| 17 | The Stupidest Path (Part I) — An Unsolvable Mathematical Problem | Mathematics says this path is blocked |
| 18 | The Stupidest Path (Part II) — Why Walk It Anyway? | Not because of confidence, but because there is still something to write |
Final Chapter: A Book That Can Reach the Future
Afterword: About What You Are Doing Right Now
Appendix: Source Index
