About the author
倪匡
478 books73 followers本名倪聰，筆名有衛斯理、沙翁、魏力等等。1935年生，上海浙江寧波鎮海人，學問皆靠自修而來。1957年偷渡香港，抵港初期白天在工廠工作，晚上進修，後來投稿到《真報》和《工商日報》，不但被採用，還獲《真報》聘用，先後出任校對、助理編輯、記者和政論專欄作家，就此走上文學創作之路。他的第一篇小說《活埋》是描寫中共的土改故事。翌年倪匡開始創作武俠小說，早期作品包括女黑俠木蘭花、浪子高達的故事、神仙手高飛的故事以及六指琴魔等。
在金庸的鼓勵下，1962年開始用筆名「衛斯理」寫科幻小說。第一篇小說名為《鑽石花》，在《明報》副刊連載，從此開始他的寫作生涯。而後出版的《衛斯理》系列小說達140多本，其後還有《原振俠系列》、《浪子高達系列》等等系列。1960年代末，香港武俠影片興起，倪匡轉而從事劇本創作。十多年間，如同他的文學創作一般多產，所寫劇本不下數百部，代表作有張徹導演的《獨臂刀》。1992年移居美國舊金山。
倪匡寫作範圍極廣，包括武俠、科幻、奇情、偵探、神怪、推理、文藝等皆有涉獵，自進入文壇以來，迄今寫了三十年，一個星期寫足七天，每天寫數萬字，自稱是全世界寫漢字最多的人。最令人稱奇的，是他可以寫三十年而靈感不斷、題材不盡，且是暢銷的保證。出版界流傳一個笑話：即使倪匡寫的是無字天書，也會迅速售清。
倪匡不懂駕駛，但迷上了研究汽車時，曾經獨個兒把一部汽車化整為零後再裝嵌為原狀。他又花上幾年收集及鑽研貝殼，雖然最後意興闌珊把心愛的收藏賣掉，但他對貝殼的認識已達專家境界。
倪匡的廣泛興趣、過目不忘的本領，以及鍥而不捨的研究精神，使他所寫的各類作品深入人心。尤其他的科幻小說已成當代經典，結構嚴謹，馳情入幻，又帶啟發性，常使人有意想不到的收穫。

I am writing in English, because my keyboard is unable to type in Chinese. Nor can I download any software at the moment.
Of all the novels I have read, this novel is one of the scariest stories I have yet to come across. We are all PlayDoh. Different colors, different shapes, malleable but someone is playing us. We trade one PlayDoh for another PlayDoh. Some people want a pink Hermes bag but is the PlayDoh Hermes better than the Gucci PlayDoh bag? Who knows, if the Iphone 13 PlayDoh is better than the Iphone 12 PlayDoh.
The best part? We can't escape our fate to be Toys or PlayDoh. Even when you think you have escaped, you are still in the Game.
I wish Ni Kuang continued to write Wei Si Li. Just all the strange ideas that he has about the world, before the Internet era. I loved everything he has written for Wisely.

This book is really interesting!It talks about in the future people are going to be controlled by computers,and becoming their “toys”,it gives me creepy vibes but I liked it at the same time.I will recommend my friends to read it because I think it is suitable for them to read and they may be interested in it because they like scary stories.
