As humanity extends its dominion over a planet, it inevitably seeks to exert control over its inhabitants. Lv Ge, an amnesia employee of the Deep Space Society, embarks on a mission where he crosses paths with Dodo, a ‘ground handler’ with a mysterious past and extraordinary abilities. Together, they traverse the planet, encountering its beauty and vitality, as well as its darker aspects of treachery and suffering. As Lv Ge experiences flashback of his past, the planet’s crises and hidden truths gradually come to light. From hallucinogenic mushrooms to zombie horned horses, samurai families to wild orthopedic hospitals, and cyber practitioners, their journey weaves through an absurd yet romantically adventurous tale, revealing the planet’s complex and multifaceted nature. 97
