Publisher's summary
곽재식은 누구보다도 재미난 이야기 소재들을 사랑하는 작가입니다. 비단 SF뿐만 아니라 동서양의 판타지와 전설 등, 현실 밖의 꿈과 상상과 환상 속에 담긴 이야기들을 찾고 수집하죠. 다루는 소재를 고려하면, 곽재식은 확실히 '장르 소설가'에 속합니다. 전형적이라고 할 수도 있겠죠. 하지만 이 작가는 특별합니다. 현재 장르 소설계에서 이렇게 웃긴 작가는 존재하지 않습니다. 특히 이공계를 졸업하고 사회에 진출한 사람들이 겪는 부조리한 사회생활에 관한 블랙 코미디는 타의 추종을 불허합니다. 그 기반은 '리얼리티'죠. 대사 하나하나가 진짜 리얼합니다. 코믹 SF의 예로 코니 윌리스를 들어보면, 코니 윌리스는 극의 희극성을 끌어올리기 위해 일부러 비현실적인 캐릭터를 등장시킵니다. 단점은 아니고 전략적인 방향 설정이죠. 대체로 현실은 그만큼 재미가 있지는 않으니까요. 그런데 곽재식이 쓰는 설정이나 대사는 너무 리얼합니다. 말도 안 되는 소리들을 하고 있는데, 그게 너무 리얼합니다. 사회에서 갑을관계를 겪어 봤거나, 특히 공무원들과 대화를 해 본 분들이라면 이 소설에 나오는 처음 보는 캐릭터들의 대사를 읽을 때 육성이 들려올 겁니다. 그 어처구니없는 면이, 그래서, 웃깁니다. 어처구니가 없으니까요. 와, 이거 진짜잖아.
보육원에서 수십 년 전의 TV 시리즈 "수사 반장" 다시 보기에 빠져든 소년. "수사 반장"을 원 없이 보기 위해서는 독립해야 합니다. 가장 빠른 방법은 보육 로봇을 구입하는 것. 보육원에서 돈을 벌기 위한 소년의 눈물겨운 노력이 펼쳐집니다. 감동 주의.
작가의 말:
VOD 서비스의 무료 영화만 찾아다니다 보면, 이걸 볼까, 저걸 볼까, 저건 나중에 한번은 볼 테니까 즐겨찾기 표시만 해 놓자, 그런 식으로 메뉴만 한참 고르다가 한 30분 시간을 보내는 때가 있다. 그러다 보면 시간이 모자라서 결국 아무 영화도 못 보고 메뉴만 보다 말게 되는데, 그때 들었던 생각을 언젠가 소설로 써보자고 메모해 둔 적이 있다. 그래서 그 소재를 내 일상생활과는 많이 다른 배경에서 한번 풀어 본 것이 이 소설이다. 나는 《토끼의 아리아》에 실린 과 같이 비슷비슷한 배경에서 로봇을 소재로 하는 소설을 몇 편 썼다. "로봇 시리즈"라고 할 만한 것인데, 이 소설도 거기에 포함된다고 할 수 있을 것이다. '웹진 거울' 2018년 11월호를 통해 처음 공개되었다.

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Story
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.
