This is not just a tech book. It is an engineering blueprint for the future of habitation.
Hacking Space: Refactoring the Smart Habitat is the magnum opus of industry veteran and innovator Xiang Zhonghong, distilling 30 years of frontier exploration. This book systematically proposes the SSSU (Smart Spatial Service Unit) theoretical framework, shattering the traditional device-centric shackles of smart homes and establishing a new paradigm: Space as a Computing Platform, Human as the Core Service.
Hacking Space: Refactoring the Smart Habitat is the magnum opus of industry veteran and innovator Xiang Zhonghong, distilling 30 years of frontier exploration. This book systematically proposes the SSSU (Smart Spatial Service Unit) theoretical framework, shattering the traditional device-centric shackles of smart homes and establishing a new paradigm: Space as a Computing Platform, Human as the Core Service.
Spanning approximately 200,000 words across nine chapters, the book uses the precision architecture of 5 Hubs & 6 Elements to guide readers from zero to one: transforming a mundane physical space into a silicon-based lifeform capable of sensing, thinking, and evolving.
Core Highlights:
Zhonghong Xiang
Senior Expert in Intelligent Buildings & Smart Spaces. Founder of Qianjia (QJ.Smartech). CEO of Robot Zero.
Since plugging into the intelligent industry in 1995, Mr. Xiang has been a pioneer and witness to the evolution of smart homes and buildings in China for over three decades. He is a prolific author, having penned industry classics such as Smart Home (2002), Cabling Products and Cases (2004), Smart Home: The Next Game of Giants (2014), and Service Robots: New Partners of the Future World.
He is also an inventor with a keen technological nose, holding over 120 invention and utility patents. The Internet of Robots (IoR) and SSSU Smart Space theories proposed by Mr. Xiang have profoundly shaped the industry's understanding of the digital transformation of physical space.
Based in Guangzhou, the heart of the Greater Bay Area, he is a tireless technology evangelist, always standing at the crossroads of technology and humanity, exploring the symbiotic future of silicon civilization and carbon-based life.
Core Highlights:
- The Ultimate Deconstruction of Physics: A deep dive into the six physical elements-Light, Air, Sound, Wave, Power, Visual. From full-spectrum circadian lighting to non-contact mmWave sensing, from passive IoT energy harvesting to holographic spatial projection. The book provides hardcore hardware hacking schemes based on real patents (DIY Radar, Energy Harvesting, Phygital Display).
- Digital Sovereignty in Software: Reject cloud dependency. Learn to build a Spatial OS based on Home Assistant + Docker. Write Watchdog scripts for system self-healing, implement Bayesian algorithms for probabilistic sensing, and reclaim your digital privacy and sovereignty.
- The Injection of Soul (Intelligence): The industry's first definitive guide on deploying Local LLMs and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) in domestic scenarios. How to give a house years of memory? How to build a Multi-Agent silicon crew? How to use the Robot Personality System to grant AI a stable ego? The code-level answers are here.
- Deep Ethical Inquiry: When space awakens, how will the relationship between humans and their habitats be rewritten? The book boldly predicts digital immortality, the symbiotic contract between carbon and silicon, and the logic behind building planetary-scale habitats (The Martian Ark).
