Age of Hibernation: Beyond Memory and Time

By Min Tae Kim

What if your father returned-not quite himself, but someone more powerful than ever?

In a near-future South Korea, a revolutionary medical technology allows patients to enter long-term hibernation-a state of suspended life at temperatures just above freezing. Hoping for a second chance, the narrator's father chooses to sleep for twenty years, leaving behind his family and a son who now waits with quiet grief and confusion.

But when he awakens, something is different. His memories feel altered. His instincts unfamiliar. Unbeknownst to the family, a powerful conglomerate has tampered with his brain-implanting the preserved memories of its dying chairman, Oh Gun-moo.

As family bonds unravel and corporate interests tighten their grip, the son must confront a harrowing truth: is the man before him still his father-or merely a vessel for someone else's ambition?

Age of Hibernation is a haunting speculative novel that merges bioethics, identity, and memory in a story that questions the meaning of selfhood in an age where time can be stopped-but never reversed.

A thought-provoking read for fans of dystopian fiction, Korean science drama, and philosophical thrillers.
