In the era of pan-entertainment, how to read a book? When entertainment erodes my senses and consciousness step by step, I gradually lose my self-consciousness and freedom consciousness, and how to find the result? 

There is a book written by Franz Kafka at the desk named Das Schloss. I open the book while playing on my phone. Then I can't take my eyes off the videos on my phone. I flip through the book and imitate the hilarious act of "absorbing knowledge" that is popular on Tiktok. Someone hands over the black tape, and I begin to slowly seal my ears, mouth, and eyes with the black tape. 

Later the phone starts to read Das Schloss aloud with AI voice. I stand up with Das Schloss and grope from the second floor to the open space on the first floor without lights on. I can't see, I can't hear, I can't talk but I want to put Das Schloss into the place which is the symbol of "Castle" posted by me with black tape on the ground.  I move on the ground, take the book in my left hand and touch the ground with my right hand. I work very hard to find the "castle". The alarm clock rings at 45 minutes. As I expected, it’s impossible to put Das Schloss into the “castle".
