The subject matter is not novel, but many new ideas have been added to the old subject matter. People can upload to the virtual world before they die, so as to realize immortality. Two people who are 70 years apart and impossible to meet in reality can chat and become friends here. But there is still a gap between the rich and the poor. Some people can live in a 48,000 square meter mansion, and some people only have 2G traffic a month. You can only read 5 pages, and you have to pay if you want to read the whole book. It costs money to want books, clothes, and even genitals. People have no privacy in reality. The supermarket knows that you are iron deficient and even knows what size condom you wear. People have no privacy in the virtual world, and your every move can be seen by the staff, and turning on the privacy mode will not help. These overlord clauses, no matter how bad you are, you can’t do it, because you have to accept the clauses before uploading them to you, otherwise you can only choose to die. You can see the perspective of a celebrity with money, and you can hack into someone else's mobile phone camera. You can date someone in virtual reality, but the other person may be dressed as a woman... These phenomena are likely to happen in the future, or are happening now.
