Unraveling the Candlelight Revolution and Democracy Like a Science Fiction Movie

In 2120, Selene, an artificial city built as a giant dome on the moon, is a flawless robot society with a perfect internet system and a cutting-edge democracy where all citizens make decisions through internet voting and even decide on the breakfast menu by majority vote.
But the main character, Eden, is just frustrated.
At school, Michael Fung, the classroom tyrant, bullies the children, and Jason, a guy from District 7, often ignores the children from District 12.
The only solution, the internet 'rabbit ears', is often sluggish due to server maintenance.
Above all, I have no news of my most respected and beloved grandmother who disappeared three years ago.
Then one day, the tyrant Michael Fung is infected with the rage virus and captured, and people wearing masks and holding picket signs begin to protest on the streets.
Eden discovers a passage with the same title as the last fairy tale left by his grandmother in a video of a mysterious figure that appeared on a pirate site.
What secret is hidden behind the disappearance of the grandmother and the friends who keep getting arrested?
Will the timid and ordinary Eden and his friends be able to solve this mystery?

"There Is No Good Hat" is a fairy tale that exquisitely compares the state affairs, impeachment, and candlelight revolution that occurred in 2016-2017 to a city of the future.
It portrays the distorted and twisted face of our social democracy just before the Candlelight Revolution, more realistically than the truth.
This book vividly and solidly tells a story that is easy for children to understand: a society where discrimination based on the gap between the rich and the poor still entrenches itself, a democratic system that appears perfect on the outside but is full of holes, the dark power of conglomerates that are packaged as helping the people's lives, the clutches of public opinion manipulation and social control hidden in internet information that seems fair to everyone, the suspicion of election fraud by a president who acts like a robot without communication or emotion, and the conspiracy of a blacklist that silences and oppresses artists.
And we will illuminate, one by one, the courageous processes that exposed fake democracy and brought about a new wind.

The framed fable "There Are No Good Hats" is a valuable educational resource for democracy.
The remarkable storyteller side of Lee Ki-gyu, a teacher dedicated to human rights education.

The title of this book, "There Are No Good Hats," is a short fable that is included as a framed story within the work to easily explain democracy and power.
When people come together to form a society, the representative who was established to more efficiently guarantee the rights and personality of each individual ends up restricting and depriving freedom to fill his own stomach. This situation is put into a simple but powerful way, as depicted in a small hat that fell into the animal world.

There is a hat.
“He who wears this hat rules the world.”
“Is it real?”
“I see! Then I guess I’ll have to wear this hat.”
Rousseau wore a hat with a long nose.
Even though he became king, Rousseau actually did nothing.

“If even an elephant can become a king, why can’t I? Ugh!”
Ray the giraffe took the hat from Russo the elephant's head.
But Ray was a slightly different king than Russo.
“Bring me some fresh fruit to eat! This is the king’s order!”
The eagle Super flew high into the sky and snatched the hat that Giraffe Ray was wearing.

Super also ordered the animals of the forest to offer him food, just like the giraffe Ray.
From then on, the forest animals called the elephant Rousseau "Good Hat."
Ray and Super called them 'bad hats'.

The animals rushed to take the hat, no matter who it was.
Chichi, who was watching the scene from the tree, easily lifted the hat using her long tail.
“I will be neither a ‘good hat’ nor a ‘bad hat.’”
Chichi lifted his hat high and let it fall down an endless cliff.
Chichi is right.
As you all know, animals don't need hats or anything.

_From the fable “There is no good hat”

The author, who has worked as an elementary school teacher and has long thought about and practiced human rights education, asserts that no power can surpass the freedom and rights of individual human beings.
He has been explaining the right direction for society and human rights through various educational books and fairy tales, and has also participated in various human rights activities directly with students, such as the enactment of the Student Human Rights Ordinance. This has allowed him to create the optimal story that can best teach children about democracy.


Moreover, because this book is based on the most symbolic event of our country's democracy, it is also meaningful as a good educational material based on actual facts.
This work is also a good basis for discussion, as it unfolds through various concepts such as elections, presidents, majority rule, public opinion and the press, the role of the state, and democracy in episodes both large and small.
It didn't miss out on any of the fun of fiction.
Spaceships and robots, a futuristic city built in an unknown space, a world of networks vaster and more thrilling than space, and text and illustrations that create a unique atmosphere that is both similar and different from reality create a story that draws you in instantly.

The Birth of a Cowardly and Ordinary Little Hero
A book that respects individuality and diversity and provides a victorious experience achieved through working together.

The process of uncovering all the suspicions and conspiracies of the moon city of Selene and correcting the lies and wrongs is not accomplished through the efforts of just one protagonist.
Eden and his friends, who are timid, ordinary, and seem to have some shortcomings, but have their own distinct personalities, solve problems by combining their strengths.
It's as if our society is a diverse mix of people from various fields. Chocho, who's clumsy at everything but can recite numbers incredibly well; Ayako, who's fragile and gentle but knows how to strike hard at crucial moments; Minho, who's a snobbish character who monopolizes errands but knows a ton of secret passages that others don't know about—all of these characters in this book emerge as protagonists, each playing a crucial role at different moments.
Through this fairy tale, children will gain confidence as they realize that their own small but precious individuality is the starting point for becoming a hero.
At the same time, you will be able to respect the individuality and diversity of the friends around you.


Especially in these suffocating and dark moments when freedom is suppressed and thoughts are controlled, it also captures the fact that small individuals awakening each other and joining forces to awaken to the truth can be the first step toward changing the world.
Just as the small steps taken to the square, though not special or perfect, gathered together to form a giant candlelight vigil and oust a bad president, we can indirectly feel the triumphant experience of achieving our own rights and freedoms with our own hands, not by borrowing the hands of others, through proud history.
