“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the worlds”(Viereck, 1929: 117. Albert Einstein)

Labor in Cyber 是一本以叙事方式讲诉的迷你小说，讲诉的是在赛博网络虚拟空间存在和工作的人力，主要人物以我手机中常用应用为原型，以办公室工作相处和社交为主要故事发展背景，手机闹铃声响起，手机在提醒你起床以及重要事件，一个红灯闪烁，手机需要电量的补充。在人与机械互相服务，共同工作的过程，幻想出了一个我们未曾发现，却早已介入的未知世界。

The work we did as labor is the way it pushes us to become a cyborg. Labor in Cyber is a collabration stories happens in a magical cyberspace.
