About this book
In a reunified Korea, robots serve as servants, surrogates, children and lovers, but they are second-class citizens. Two estranged siblings, a detective in the Robot Crimes Unit and a gifted robot programmer, are pulled back together by a missing robot and the brother who vanished years earlier. Silvia Park's debut mixes a mystery with a story about family and what we owe to the machines we build.
