Author Bio 작가 소개
Kim Bo-young is one of South Korea’s most active science fiction writers. She made her literary debut in 2004 with the novella Chokgagui gyeongheom (촉각의 경험 The Experience of Touch) while working as a game developer and screenwriter. In 2015, her short story "Jinhwa sinhwa" (진화신화 An Evolutionary Myth) was published in Clarkesworld, while in 2019 rights to three of her novels were acquired by HarperCollins. The film director Bong Joon-ho has said of Kim's Chirinui jipaenggwan (7인의 집행관 The Seven Executioners), “her fiction is a breath-taking piece of a cinematic art itself. Reminiscent of the world we experienced in The Matrix, Inception, and Dark City, still it leads us to this entirely original structure, which is a ground-breaking, mystic literary and cinematic experience.” Kim served as a script consultant for an early draft of Bong's Snowpiercer.
