"Another Man's City "is structured as a virtual-reality narrative manipulated by an entity referred to variously as the Invisible Hand or Big Brother. The scenario is reminiscent of Peter Weir's 1998 film "The Truman Show" and Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "The Unconsoled." The novel begins with a series of seemingly minor juxtapositions of the familiar and the strange, as a result of which the protagonist, K, gradually finds himself inside a Matrix-like reality populated with shape-shifting characters.

Reviews for Another Man's City – A Novel
This novel is a symbolic protest against the arrogantly mundane approach of the strain of realism that, cloaked in the guise of humanism, has dominated modern Korean fiction. Choi challenges us to consider new possibilities for literature in an age when the divine is largely absent from literary art.
