Society Summary The prelude describes a tidal wave approaching Japan. The story is a first-person narrative by Professor Katsumi, inventor of a self-programming computer which can predict the future. Katsumi and his assistant, Tanamogi, plan to predict the future of a private, individual destiny. They choose a subject from the street and follow him. The next day's paper announces his murder. To solve the case and forestall suspicion, Katsumi downloads the contents of the man's brain, reconstructs his existence, and questions him/it. The victim did not see his murderer, but he tells the team his mistress had sold her aborted foetus for 7000 yen. Then the mistress is murdered. Katsumi's wife has a forced abortion and receives 7000 yen. Katsumi suspects an organization. His assistant Tanamogi volunteers the name of an organization experimenting with extra-utero development of foetuses, and arranges for Katsumi to visit their lab. Gradually Katsumi learns of a vast conspiracy to create an underwater nation, complete with genetically altered water-oxygenating humans and animals, bred in anticipation of the predicted destruction of Japan by a tidal wave.

Kobo Abe: Modernity and Isolation in a Changing Japan Dendrocacalia Akai mayu Maho no choku Kabe Esu Karuma shi no hanzai The futuristic, Cold-War era Dai yon kampyo-ki When Abe wrote Suna no onna (Woman in the Dunes, Vintage, 1991) in 1962, he was widely considered to be at the peak of his literary career. Reminiscent of Camus, Woman in the Dunes is the story of an amateur insect collector who is held captive in the hut of a young widow deep in a sand pit. To keep from being buried by the dunes, he must work ceaselessly, like Sisyphus, to shovel away the ever-present sand. Following a series of thwarted attempt to free himself, he eventually becomes resigned to his grim fate, recognizing the futility of escape. The stunning 1962 film version directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara won honors at Cannes and is considered one of the masterpieces of Japanese cinema.
