Sweet and Sour

當「追蹤數」成為衡量價值的標準，真實還剩下多少空間？在 AI influencer 機器人主導社群平台的時代，Mikah 和朋友決定用最單純的方式創作──沒有機器人，沒有濾鏡，只有人類本身。本書以當代網路文化為背景，描寫一段從爆紅到失衡的歷程。

Mikah 的 mukbang 頻道迅速竄紅，大量進食的畫面吸引無數目光，數字節節攀升。然而，身體並非無限供應的素材。當名聲越來越耀眼，他也逐漸意識到甜美背後的沉重代價。故事在幽默與戲劇張力中推進，結局帶著冷冽反轉，留下餘味。

作者以自身與 influencer 合作的經驗為靈感，細膩描繪社群浪潮與 AI 風險。本書延續 Island of Influencers 的議題關懷，呈現流量時代的明暗交錯。
