The awarding book titled, ‘The Last Hitchhiker’, in the 4th Han Nak-Won Science Fiction Competition, and the writer’s newest book, ‘Let’s Eat Rice cake with Hot Sauce on Thursday’ and other three excellent participating stories are presented in this book. ‘The Last Hitchhiker’ provides us with the question with new angle of thinking. Hitchhikers, who hit a robot with their car, to figure out how strong the robot is, and those who have been missing because they were pushed by others based on the misunderstanding that robot can fly are characters in this book. The main character, ‘Humanoid Molio’, is so desperate to hope that he is the last hitchhiker among angry people who blame ‘automatic driving cars’ for their unemployment. Today is the time when the co-existence between robots and humans is so sure, and robots are designed to communicate with humans. However, can robots really trust humans? The stories in this book contain various materials such as the co-relationship between Korean myth and aliens (‘Diving’), the artificial intelligence hit by error called paternal love (‘Absolute Justice Lady, Justice’), and a humanoid who failed to implant human organs (‘Dancing with Robots’). This book is definitely the SF literature in the new age when we can dream of co-existence only after we overcome the cliché confrontation between robots and humans, and when we need our imagination to connect myth and the universe.
