“There’s something I can’t see.”

Kim Bo-Young is a South Korean science fiction writer: she was a consultant on Bong Joon-Ho’s movie Snowpiercer but her own work is stranger and more dreamlike. ‘How Alike Are We’ is a story about an AI in a spaceship that’s part a Asimovian twist on detective stories and part comment on gender. It’s also brilliant.
