Summary
In the mid-1970s, a literary magazine published in Seoul had asked a number of people in the natural sciences, to write a short science fiction about Korean society a hundred years in the future. It was a ‘fictious’ story, set around one hundred years after the 1970s, by which time all infectious diseases had disappeared from the earth, and the general public, and even medical doctors, were ignorant of what a virus is.
