Your Utopia is a follow-up to Curse Bunny- it’s a collection of short stories that delves into technology, featuring robots, spaceships, and futuristic corporations. True to Bora Chung's style, there's always a peculiar twist. I think that the stories keep getting stronger as you progress through the collection. I’ll outline some favorites here: 

The opening story, "The Centre for Immortality Research," ostensibly about extending life, actually critiques capitalism and the rigidity of large organizations. It has a somewhat irreverent tone through the whole thing, where more and more ridiculous scenarios keep happening but corporate life must trudge on. 

"The End of the Voyage" presents a dystopian view of a disease that induces cannibalism, evolving into a narrative about religious existentialism. On the longer side, but, I think it really nails the ideas of horror in space, dread of others, etc. 

The title story “Your Utopia” examines the fallibility of machines, Asimov’s Three Laws and how it can be seen as detrimental to non-human intelligences, and also underscores the importance of environmental preservation. Honestly I love a good robot and this didn’t disappoint. 

“To Meet Her” is really powerful once you know more context of why it was written. I won’t spoil it, but I think it has a lot going for it. 

Overall, pretty please with it, and couldn’t put it down on the Sunday afternoon/night that I picked it up. 

 What a perfectly weird collection of short stories by Bora Chung! This is a great blend of Sci Fi and Horror while also having a very distinct sense of humor that I really vibed with. Some of these stories were amazing and some of them were just fine. But overall, I really enjoyed this collection. 

My top 3 favorites include:
1. The End of the Voyage - Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I don't know if a short story has ever grabbed my attention quite like this one. Even though I did predict the outcome, I still loved the horrifying and thrilling journey to get there.
 2. A Very Ordinary Marriage - Another absolutely weird and compelling story. While not as graphic as the previous story, there was a subtle horror simmering beneath the tale that I really enjoyed.
 3. Seed - Strange and creepy and it gave me a similar feel as Annihilation.

I haven't read Cursed Bunny yet but it seems to be the preferred collection of stories by Chung so I am excited to get to it ASAP.
