In Your Utopia, internationally acclaimed author Bora Chung returns with a striking collection of speculative stories that examine humanity’s obsession with perfection—and the unsettling truths hidden beneath ideal worlds.

Through bold imagination and sharp psychological insight, Chung presents a series of interconnected narratives set in near-future societies, alternate realities, and carefully constructed “utopias” that slowly unravel. Each story exposes the fragile boundaries between progress and control, safety and freedom, desire and consequence.

Blending science fiction, dystopian fiction, and literary storytelling, Your Utopia explores themes of technology, gender, power, morality, and identity. Chung’s prose is precise yet haunting, forcing readers to question what is sacrificed in the pursuit of a better world—and who gets to decide what “better” means.

This compelling collection explores:

• The hidden costs of utopian societies

• Technology’s influence on human relationships

• Power, surveillance, and social control

• Gender, autonomy, and identity

• Ethical dilemmas in imagined futures

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Literary science fiction and dystopian fiction

• Thought-provoking short story collections

• Works by Margaret Atwood, Ted Chiang, and Kazuo Ishiguro

• Socially conscious and psychologically rich narratives

Dark, intelligent, and deeply unsettling, Your Utopia is a powerful exploration of humanity’s future—and a reminder that even the most perfect systems can hide devastating flaws.
