Emerging technologies such as virtual reality, blockchain, and quantum computing are paving the way for a future that is truly awe-inspiring. The possibilities seem endless, with advancements in medicine promising to eradicate diseases that have plagued humanity for centuries.

One of the most exciting frontiers is the concept of colonizing other planets. With Earth's resources being strained, scientists and space enthusiasts have set their sights on Mars, the most habitable planet in our solar system. Space agencies across the globe are working on projects that aim to send humans to Mars within the next few decades. The potential for expansion beyond our home planet brings with it a plethora of opportunities and challenges.

In addition to scientific advancements, the future also holds significant transformations in the way we live and work. Automation and robotics threaten to disrupt traditional job markets, but they also offer promising solutions to increase productivity and improve the quality of life. As we edge closer to a world where repetitive tasks are handled by machines, humans can redirect their focus towards creative and meaningful pursuits.

However, as with any great change, the future brings with it a set of uncertainties and challenges. Ethical dilemmas surrounding emerging technologies need to be addressed, including questions about privacy, safety, and the potential misuse of power. Society will need to navigate these issues with careful consideration, ensuring that progress benefits all of humanity.

So, what does the future yet to come hold for us? It is a world brimming with potential, innovation, and discovery. While there may be obstacles along the way, the human spirit has always shown resilience and adaptability. As we step into this next chapter of our history, let us embrace the possibilities that await us and work towards shaping a future that encompasses the best of what humanity has to offer.

Stay curious, keep dreaming, and let us forge a destiny that will leave future generations in awe of the path we chose to take.

South Korea is home to cutting-edge electronics, state-of-the-art medical facilities, and ubiquitous high-speed internet. The country’s meteoric rise from the ashes of the Korean War (1950–1953) to rank among the world’s most technologically advanced societies is often attributed to state-led promotion of science and technology in nation-building projects. With chapters that discuss Korea’s dynastic past, foreign occupations, Cold War geopolitics, postwar rehabilitation in the twentieth century, and the contemporary neoliberal moment, Future Yet to Come argues that a longer historical arc and broader disciplinary approach better elucidate these transformations. The book’s contributors illuminate the “sociotechnical imaginaries” that promoted, sustained, and contested Korea’s scientific, medical, and technological projects in realizing desired futures.

Focusing special attention on visual culture and the life sciences, the essays present competing visions held by individuals and institutions of power in the use and purpose of scientific engagements. They demonstrate Korean specificities in culture and language, and the myriad social, political, spatial, and symbolic arrangements that shaped incorporations of and changes to existing systems of knowledge and material practices. Whether discussing moral epistemologies, imperialist or developmentalist thrusts in public health regimes, or new configurations of the “self” enabled by bio industries and media technologies, the book expands both the regional and global understanding of translation, accommodation, and transfer. Tracing imaginaries across the vicissitudes of Korea’s past recalls their history and makes visible their shifts and resilience in dynamic political economies.

Future Yet to Come reminds us how deeply intertwined science, medicine, and technology are to not only our polities, corporations, and societies but also the human condition. Bridging histories of science and medicine with anthropologies of technology and the arts, the book will appeal to students and scholars of Korean and East Asian studies as well as those with interests in the comparative history of medicine, STS (society and technology studies),art history, media studies, transnationalism, diaspora, and postcolonialism.
