"North Korean science fiction never features aliens — or, perhaps not 
surprisingly, dystopian settings.
  In fact, North Korean science fiction sounds as though it's closer to 
"mundane" science fiction than most of what we produce in the West. No aliens, 
no space opera, no far-flung future settings. Just new technologies and 
scientific developments, and speculations as to their impact on society. ...
   Science fiction first appeared in North Korea in the mid-1950s with two 
volumes of translations of short stories by writers from the Soviet Union. 
Drawing upon these models as well as European authors of early science-fiction 
such as H.G. Wells and Jules Vernes, North Korean writers started to produce 
their own sci-fi works in the mid 1960s. Sci-fi stories continued to appear 
infrequently in youth magazines throughout the next twenty years, but it is 
really only at the end of the 1980s that the genre took off.
  After a speech delivered by Kim Jong-Il in October 1988 called for the 
development of science fiction on a larger scale, the number of sci-fi works 
grew significantly. From space travel to immortality or underwater exploration, 
sci-fi stories cover a wide range of subjects"
