I'm reading two sci-fi books of short stories right now (this and "How Long 'til Black Future Month") and neither are exactly what I'm looking for.  I found some of the stories in here so captivating.  Seed?  Amazing.  The End of the Voyage?  So creepy.  But Your Utopia didn't do it for me at all.  A Song for Sleep started so slowly that I almost skipped the whole story.

That said, I'm happy I read some Korean sci-fi short stories.  It is a genre that I may never read again, but I've done it once!
