Kim Bo-Young is one of South Korea’s most active science fiction writers. She launched her literary career by winning the inaugural Korean Science & Technology Creative Writing Award in 2004 and has gone on to win the annual South Korean SF Novel Award three times. Before turning to writing, Kim worked as a game developer, screenwriter, and graphic designer as part of the now-defunct Garam & Baram Corp. English translations of Kim’s short story “An Evolutionary Myth” and novella How Alike Are We have appeared in Clarkesworld magazine and of the short story “Whale Snows Down” in Future Science Fiction Digest. Her books in English translation include I’m Waiting for You (HarperVoyager, 2021) and On the Origin of Species and Other Stories (Kaya Press, 2021). The latter has been longlisted for the 2021 National Book Awards. She served as a consultant to Parasite director Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi film, Snowpiercer.
