This Friday I will be talking about Luminous with Hannah Tinti—robots, loneliness, gender, crafty stuff like pov & structure—at The Strand at Columbus. Tickets do need to be purchased, which I know is a big ask as a debut novelist, but I’d love to see you there.

This Thursday I’ll be in Boston to discuss #Luminous with @kyliu99.bsky.social at his favorite spot @harvardbookstore.bsky.social. Really looking forward to this one because Ken is so brilliant & fun. We’re probably going to talk about robots & religion & Korea-Japan-China.

What does it really mean to be human? Explore a breathtaking vision of our near future with Silvia Park in conversation with Karen Joy Fowler on Fane for Luminous, where speculative fiction meets mystery in a powerful debut.

Tour schedule for LUMINOUS, coming March 11 from @simonbooks.bsky.social. In a unified Korea, three estranged siblings—two human, one 🤖—reunite during a criminal investigation to settle old scores and make sense of their shattered childhood.

For those who can make it, hope to see you soon!

Yoon impeached. Celebration in Daegu, one of the most conservative cities in #Korea. It’s like if Texas celebrated Trump going to jail.

Ahh I forgot to self-intro.

Hi friends, I’m the author of an upcoming speculative novel LUMINOUS, out with Simon & Schuster 🇺🇸 and @oneworldbooks.bsky.social 🇬🇧in March 2025. The book has robots, broken families, a crime investigation in a unified Korea. Excited to share more details in the future.

Should this really be the headline for a relationship on a 42 year old man and a 16 year old girl?
