In a thrilling translation by the acclaimed Anton Hur, readers will experience a variety of possible fates for humanity, from total demise via a disease whose only symptom is casual cannibalism to a world in which even dreams can be monitored and used to convict people of crimes. In "The Center for Immortality Research," a low-level employee runs herself ragged planning a fancy gala for donors only to be blamed for the chaos that ensues during the event in front of the mysterious celebrity benefactors hoping to live forever. In "A Song for Sleep," an AI elevator in an apartment complex develops a tender, one-sided love for an elderly resident. "Seed" traverses the final frontier of capitalism's destruction of the planet--but nature always creeps back to life. If you haven't yet experienced the fruits of Chung's singular imagination, Your Utopia is waiting."--Page 2 of cover. 001488163 650_0 $$aCapitalism$$vFiction. 001488163 650_0 $$aTechnology and civilization$$vFiction. 001488163 650_0 $$aImmortalism$$vFiction. 001488163 655_7 $$aScience fiction.$$2lcgft 001488163 655_7 $$aHorror fiction.$$2lcgft 001488163 655_7 $$aShort stories.$$2lcgft 001488163 7001_ $$aHur, Anton,$$etranslator. 001488163 852__ $$bgen 001488163 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1488163$$pGLOBAL_SET 001488163 980__ $$aBIB 001488163 980__ $$aNPR
