Kim Choyeop's new short novel that opened a new horizon for Korean science fiction literature. 14 unfamiliar and sensuous stories. A patient with "contact syndrome" who feels terrible pain when anything touches the body due to the aftereffects of surgery. A professor who lives as a misfit in a world where everyone can know all the languages of the galaxy by planting an interpretation module in the brain. A weak boy who suddenly appeared in a swamp where mycelium networks are building collective intelligence. The mysterious owners of the strange restaurant located on one side of the ruins-like rest area are the world's strange species and strangers. The author seeks coexistence beyond awareness and positivity of diversity by allowing the reader to face the lives of others or minorities. Lyrical paintings with soft and warm colors added to fairy tale-like imagination double the lingering feeling of the story.
