It's amazing how this author manages to use science fiction and humor and drama to not just bring lighthearted and funny stories but to delve deep and make me feel strong emotions. I get completely lost in the stories while reading and they make me want to take action.

A stellar collection, Your Utopia is a wonderful mixed bag of speculative short stories for the modern age. Bora Chung completely delivers with original impactful works about humanity and its relationship to technology. My favorite stories were “A Very Ordinary Marriage” and “A Song for Sleep”
