Djuna has been publishing science fiction in South Korea for over 25 years, without making any biographical revelations. “Counterweight,” their first full-length work to appear in English, in a crisp translation by Anton Hur, is an efficient, fast-paced cyberpunk story.

Among the introductions to various books, Djuna, Counterweight (trans. Anton Hur) is included.

Every season I pour over the catalogs and galleys of new releases in translation and highlight some of the titles that I’m excited about for Book Riot.

Today it is difficult not to imagine a future where human intelligence will function in tandem with artificial intelligence. South Korean writer Djuna takes us along one such mind-bending futuristic journey at a breakneck pace in their gripping sci-fi thriller Counterweight. The novel, originally published as Pyoenghyeongchu in 2021, has been skilfully translated into English by Anton Hur.

The following is from Everything Good Dies Here. The pseudonymous author of these stories is one of the most prolific and widely-known genre fiction writers in South Korea today. Djuna’s many books of fiction include Butterfly War, Duty-Free Zone, Transpacific Express, Proxy War, Not Yet Gods, Memoir of a Joseon Bride, and more. Korean SF writers such as Kim Boyoung and Kwak Jaesik credit Djuna for opening new possibilities in Korean science fiction and helping the genre develop to where it is today.

We’re thrilled to share an excerpt from Everything Good Dies Here: Tales from the Linker Universe and Beyond, a short story collection by pseudonymous South Korean author Djuna, translated by Adrian Thieret—available now from Kaya Press. The stories brought together in this collection introduce for the first time in English the dazzling speculative imaginings of Djuna, one of South Korea’s most provocative SF writers. Whether describing a future society light years away or satirizing Confucian patriarchy, these stories evoke a universe at once familiar and clearly fantastical. Also collected here for the first time are all six stories set in the Linker Universe, where a mutating virus sends human beings reeling through the galaxy into a dizzying array of fracturing realities. Blending influences ranging from genre fiction (zombie, vampire, SF, you name it) to golden-age cinema to Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, Djuna’s stories together form an intertextual, mordantly funny critique of the human condition as it evolves into less and more than what it once was.
