Description
This English-language fantasy novel follows robotics student Kim Wooram, a world-class pilot and engineer who returns to Korea for a secret government robotics project called V. Because only male pilots may apply, she poses as her twin brother, Boram, and auditions for Project V, a reality competition whose winner will pilot the robot V. Her skill and popularity bring new friends, including the show’s youngest female writer, Seojin, and the lovable underdog Jeonghoon, while the ruthless heir Jinyoung becomes her rival. As Wooram approaches victory, she discovers that V’s arrogant artificial intelligence may be a ticking time bomb. With her identity at risk, she must choose between destroying the robot she has dreamed of piloting to save lives and following the competition’s script. The novel explores sibling bonds, unexpected friendship, ambition and creation, as well as male dominance in STEM, parasocial celebrity culture, social media, reality television and the promise and danger of an AI-driven future. It is translated from Korean by Gene Png.
