Outdated systems are strangling humanity. It's time to cut them out.
In this powerful trilogy, Ping Xu exposes the hidden machinery that keeps modern society trapped in scarcity, fear, and burnout. She argues that our governments and institutions still operate on an obsolete "work-for-survival" logic built for the industrial era-systems that persist like an inflamed appendix, long after they have lost their purpose, quietly poisoning the body of society.
Xu shows how tying survival to wages has created artificial scarcity, trapping generations in cycles of poverty, overwork, and despair. Safety nets have been dismantled, while public systems are designed around suspicion, punishment, and control. This has produced mass burnout, housing injustice, demographic collapse, and institutional paralysis.
But this trilogy is not only critique-it is a blueprint. Xu presents bold yet practical solutions: universal basic income, integrated long-term care, and human-centered welfare systems that adapt to people, instead of forcing people to adapt to them.
Dismantling the Appendix Trilogy is a manifesto for those who refuse to accept "this is just how the world works." It invites readers to imagine a future built on care, trust, and human dignity-where systems finally serve people, not the other way around.
