Features: In the information age, people who were once separated by vast oceans suddenly find themselves face-to-face. Just the arrangement of 0s and 1s covers every corner of the Earth, like the neurons in the human brain, densely interconnected and crisscrossing. This is not only awe-inspiring but also dizzying. Mystical? Sinister? However, this book uses a humorous tone to set aside the complex algorithms and technical details, inviting today's lively stars—Northeastern "living" (a term of endearment for helpful people), Wei Xiaobao, and the 108 heroes of Water Margin—to join the fun. The technical foundation of information flow unfolds layer by layer through a series of witty remarks. After reading this book, even a pure rookie can shake their head and chat with hackers about Bluetooth COO-KIE firewall, scaring them a bit.
