Her strikingly original, thought-provoking work teems with human and non-human beings, all of whom are striving to survive through evolution, whether biologically, technologically or socially. Kim's literature of ideas offers some of the most rigorous and surprisingly poignant reflections on posthuman existence being written today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBo-Young Kim\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1975) won the inaugural Korean Science \u0026amp; Technology Creative Writing Award with her first published novella in 2004 and has gone on to win the annual South Korean SF Novel Award three times.
