Core Idea: Although people's life becomes seemingly more convenient under high technology, they have a very low quality of living as a natural human. For example, if citizens suddenly see the sunlight, they would come up with the opinion that “I need to get away from this place since sunlight is expensive.” People also need to lines up to make an appointment and pay a lot to get sunlight.
