Summary

In a future society, immortality technology has made breakthroughs, wealth and lifespan distribution are extremely polarized, and Earth's physical boundaries are gradually dissolving. A meteorite falls in Africa, triggering the Konia pandemic; the virus may destroy humanity or rewrite genes. The story follows Wukong, an illegitimate disciple of Tianlun Temple: after the great master Kongxue enters nirvana, Wukong is drawn into the struggle over the temple's succession and leaves the plateau carrying a golden hoop and prayer beads. He experiences the wilderness ecology of Ganlu Workshop, gene-activation experiments, mechanical modification, and the Earth Hundred Children Project, growing amid faith and science, survival and ethics, and exploring the meaning of life and the boundaries of technology.

About the author

蘑菇 Author

Public information about Mushroom (蘑菇) is currently very limited: the author's real name, nationality, and dates of birth and death have not been clearly recorded. What can be confirmed is that the author publishes under the name "Mushroom" and has one work in the library, Girl, Coffee, and a Rainy Day. Judging from its usual classification, the book falls under applied psychology, suggesting that the author's writing leans toward conveying psychological feelings and self-observation through everyday situations rather than presenting academic theory or technical instruction. The title, which brings together a girl, coffee, and a rainy day, hints that the narrative may unfold around fragments of urban life, shifts in mood, and time spent alone, with a style that is likely delicate, plain, and close to daily experience. Because biographical and creative background information is lacking, the author's style and influence can only be inferred in a limited way from this single work, and more public information would be needed for a fuller assessment.
