About This Book
Description
The original work of Bong Joon-ho, who won an Academy Award for "Parasite"! A sci-fi novel that delves into philosophical questions about identity and the contradictions between classes, featuring a man who is constantly resurrected as a clone .
"Mickey 7 is a sophisticated philosophical satire disguised as an adventure novel. It lures readers in with its frivolous, melancholic humor and clever premise, then surprises them with devastating insights into the human talent for suppressing unbearable truths." - New York Journal of Books "With its compelling premise, social critique, melancholic humor, and startling horror, it's the perfect film for Bong Joon-ho, the director of "Parasite"." - The Film Stage - Edward Ashton's sci-fi novel "Mickey 7," which has been drawing attention as the original work for Bong Joon-ho's next film, has been published by Golden Bough. This work is evaluated as having well captured the fun and philosophical themes of SF, based on the seventh life of Mickey, who is constantly revived as a clone with the memories of his predecessor even after death. In the distant future, humanity, which has been constantly expanding its territory throughout the universe, tries to pioneer the new planet 'Niflheim', but faces difficulties due to the aggressive indigenous life forms called Creepers. The story begins when Mickey 7, an Expendable (expendable) who is assigned to the most dangerous work of the pioneer group, stumbles during an exploration and falls into an ice pit. Mickey, who is still alive despite being injured, is not rescued because he can be revived as a clone even after death, and eventually barely makes it back to base, but meets Mickey 8, who has already been revived with his old memories. If the commander, who already considers Mickey, who is from the lower class, as a meal bug in the pioneer group consisting of the upper class and elite, finds out about this, both will be killed. Either one of them will die, or he will have to deceive everyone and survive. Even in a ridiculous situation, the author incorporates various philosophical themes that have been interestingly dealt with in numerous science fiction works into the story, while presenting a space exploration history based on human history, various future settings that go beyond imagination, and storytelling that appropriately mixes tension and humor. It received much media attention immediately after its publication, and thanks to the buzz, a sequel to "Mickey 7" is scheduled to be released in 2023.
