I’m Waiting for You and Other Stories by Kim Bo-Young is an immersive, sci-fi short story collection that takes you to another time and place. Find out what a talking wall and Artificial Intelligence have in common, and how AI and gods share some similarities. Location: linked to South Korea, but not necessarily taking place there (aside from some sightseeing in a scifi version of Seoul) I'm Waiting for You and Other Stories synopsis A stunning collection of short fiction by one of South Korea’s most treasured writers, available in English for the first time. In the title story, an engaged couple working in distant corners of the galaxy plan to arrive on Earth simultaneously and walk down the aisle together. But small incidents wreak havoc on their vast journeys, pushing the date of their wedding far into the future. As centuries pass on Earth and the land and climate change, one thing is constant: the desire of the lovers to be together. Through two pairs of interlinked stories, Kim Bo-young explores the driving forces of humanity – love, hope, creation, destruction, and the very meaning of existence.
