Description

In a collection of science-fiction tales, humanity is tested against its own longings—where utopias promise salvation, yet loss, loneliness, and death refuse to stay neatly contained. Across stories that range from idealism to dystopia, characters chase immortality, confront the cost of progress, and discover that tenderness and fury can coexist in the same breath. With Bora Chung’s inimitable wry humor threading through the speculative wonder, the book turns big questions—what we owe one another, what we fear, and what we choose to become—into vivid, often startling moments of recognition. Equal parts absurd and profound, these stories invite readers to rethink the future as something built not only by technology, but by emotion, identity, and the messy, stubborn act of living.
