This book is the selective collection in the 2nd Han Nak Won Science Novel Award, including the award winner, ‘The sky is not scary at all’, as well as four other short fairy tales. The future of world presented by these five writers overturns the existing world we have known so far and gives us a new imagination with its contents, such as the Universe War, a cyborg, bullied robot, genetically manipulated plants and animals, and the spaceship of future, etc. These short but strong five SF fairy tales provides children with such a thrilled experience as if they belong to different world going beyond their routine. The illustrator, Cho, Seung Yeon has used one main color for each episode – red, pink, and blue – to vividly describe the personality of these stories
