AB - This study analyzed SF works representing metamorphosis motif under the conditions of 'machine' and 'evolution'. I tried to find out how the metamorphosis of the machine human being is represented and analyze it with literature. thematic theory. In the process, I looked at the similarities and differences between the metamorphosis of myth and modern texts in terms of cultural and technological civilization. Humans have had various desires for metamorphosis in various histories and cultures. Metamorphosis motif of our time have more unique characteristics than any other time. The reason is that while the transformation of myth was made by divinity and fantastic imagination, the transformation of our time is supported by science and medical technology. In particular, 'machinery' and 'evolution' are representative conditions for metamorphosis motif in SF. The machine of human technology itself, the creature of man, exists between man, god, and nature(animal), mediates the organic connection between man and God, nature(animal), and also desires to be completely human. Evolutionary imagination allows humans to fly into the future, meet humans who have evolved into new species, make Android more human than humans, and transcend from the body of the body to the digital subject. Through this analysis, I was able to find the post-human that goes beyond individual metamorphosis to the metamorphosis(evolution) of species.
