Book Introduction
The thirteen-year-old metaphor is a filler that teaches emotions to the robot Rudds.
Eunyu lives with her mother and parrot Bibi, but her mother and Bibi cannot go outside and live in hiding.
A world now ruled by robots, not humans.
Because Mom and the parrot were not allowed in that world.
Rudders receive seven levels of emotional training from Filler.
When you acquire the seven emotions of fun, anger, fear, accomplishment, love, sadness, and compassion, filler lines are added to your eyes.
For Rudd, numbers are also a source of power.
Eun-yu always wonders about her older brother who disappeared when her father passed away.
Where did my brother go? But at some point, the fillers started disappearing one by one.
Eun-yu witnesses her friend Hee-soo being kidnapped and falls into fear.
And then Huey, a Rudd, comes to find the metaphor, saying that his filler has disappeared.
Vivi is happy to see Huey, and her mother looks at her with surprised eyes.
Huey offers Eun-yu to be his filler.

Into the book
Through brainwave analysis, humans with an emotional index and empathy index exceeding 90 became fillers for the Rudds.
Most of the people chosen for filler were teenagers.
It was because of their purity that they always expressed their feelings honestly without embellishing or hiding them.
Metaphor was able to join the ranks of fillers with a high score of 99 in emotional index and 100 in empathy index.
This means that they can sustain their lives with the food, clothing, and shelter provided by Rudd.
As soon as Leon was born, he learned human feelings from Eun-yu.
The process of passing each of the seven-step certification programs is not easy.
Leon has been learning level 1 'fun' from Eunhyuk for a year and just recently passed it.

Publisher's Review
This is the winner of the 2019 7th Kyobo Bookstore Story Contest in the fairy tale category. This fairy tale, presented in the science fiction genre, depicts a dystopian worldview.
It is set in a future world where human dignity has disappeared.
Humans cannot coexist with the artificial intelligence Rudd and will only live as Rudd's assistants.
The Rudds kept only the humans they found useful and gathered them into a human holding cell.
A useless human being is called a surplus human being.


All Rudds must pass through a seven-step peel program one by one.
Each time you pass a level, one filler line is added to your eye.
Although they have a human-like appearance, Rudds cannot feel human emotions and cannot create their own works of art.
Instead of humans and robots coexisting, robots dominate humans, and humans become 'fillers' who teach robots emotions.
A society where neither humans nor robots are happy.
A future world unfolds where reason rules and emotions are valued.
Why do I and others, humans and robots exist?
The story unfolds about how robots and humans can coexist.


Judges' Comments on the 7th Kyobo Bookstore Story Contest

"Phil" is a unique AI science fiction novel that is progressive, unrealistic, yet futuristic and dystopian.
The reason I feel that the plot, which is very well-crafted and persuasive, unfolds in an interesting way is because it metaphorically captures the current human world.
I liked the dramatic development where humans and ruds exchanged information to the point of confusion.
It's been a while since I've encountered a special genre among children's and youth fairy tales, and since it was well-developed until the middle part, I was looking forward to the second half and the ending being well-wrought, and fortunately, it didn't disappoint, which made me even more delighted.
It's not just a science fiction fairy tale for children.
It is a fairy tale novel that deeply explores a very meaningful topic that explores the nature of human beings.
This is a philosophical fairy tale novel that breaks away from the specific genre of fairy tales aimed at children and is allegorical while also making adults ponder existential thoughts about themselves and others.
