TV Dinner
It's 2027. Born in 2007, the main character K has no girlfriend and is part of a cultural minority with few friends. In a paperless age with no books, magazines and newspapers, K collects the old media of the 20th century. His little dream is to "make a book" with his friend 21LO! But it goes against the law to make books in the age when the distribution or even printing is impossible and severely restricted without an official government emblem...

Bacteria dance is shown on TV. They are dancing to the red and blue lights. It's a micro fantasy on a 1mm2 plate. They take the form of letters, marks, or people's faces like mass calisthenics. The show by Samumera laboratory is the highest quality. However, this is not something to watch during mealtime, although they are beautiful. Being sober, I cannot enjoy it at all. Eww... disgusting.
Well, they are showing this program too much lately!
