Description 작품 소개

This short story collection by Bae Myung-hoon was published in 2009. It contains six stories, including “The Taklamakan Delivery Accident,” “Elevator Maneuvering Practice,” and “Amitabha in the Square.” The stories are set in Beanstalk, a soaring 674-floor skyscraper that is also a city-state with a population of half a million. Using satire, humor, parable, and fable, the author portrays the lives of Beanstalk’s inhabitants, including researchers who study the mechanisms of war, and those who examine power relations through the consumption of high-quality alcohol. The collection received critical acclaim for showing “new possibilities in science fiction.”
