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.
