"Y2KBUUGGG" explores the fears and hopes surrounding the Y2K bug, a computer glitch anticipated to cause widespread disruption at the turn of the millennium. Through a blend of historical dates and anecdotes, the work highlights humanity's tendency to assign significance to specific dates, paralleling technological vulnerabilities with human anxieties. It questions whether the Y2K bug was an actual apocalyptic threat or a moment of introspection for civilization.

《Y2KBUUGGG》探討了圍繞千禧年蟲（Y2K Bug）的恐懼與希望，這是一種曾被預期會在千禧年之交引發廣泛混亂的電腦故障。通過結合歷史軼事和流行文化，作品突出了人類傾向於賦予特定日期特殊意義的現象，將科技脆弱性與人類焦慮相提並論。它質疑千禧年蟲究竟是一個真正的末日威脅，還是一次讓文明深刻反思的時刻。
