Warm Hope in a Cold City

Book Trip   [Into the Book ⑧] Warm Hope in a Cold City Jongno-gu, Seoul: What’s still with us today   2024.03.11   One Hundred Shadows       As I thought Mujae was somehow looking shady when he said, “Don’t follow shadows,” I strained my eyes and looked again, and there was a sunshower falling like a spider’s web.     Hwang Jung-Eun’s first full-length novel, One Hundred Shadows (Changbi), is the story of Eunkyo and Mujae, two characters working in an electronics store in the center of the city. The cold cityscape and the old, desolate electronics mall are the backdrop of the novel, but the two protagonists’ youthful love story is what makes this novel so appealing, with just the right amount of heaviness and lightness. Also, the story of “shadows” in the title is not to be missed - the unrealistic occurrence of shadows rising up on their own is v...

However, with the advent of AI, the diligent and hardworking life has become the very symbol of inefficiency.
