Not Yet Gods

More mind-bending speculative fiction by one of South Korea's most provocative science fiction writersFollowing the landmark English-language publication of Everything Good Dies Here, Kaya Press delivers more provocative thought experiments by pseudonymous author Djuna, whose writings on internet culture have attracted a cult following in South Korea. Not Yet Gods explores the universe-shattering effects of teenage anger cross-pollinated with radiation-induced psychic powers, unscrupulous governments and corporate avarice. In the aftermath of a nuclear explosion set off in North Korea, an ordinary South Korean high school classroom becomes ground zero for the discovery of a radical new source of energy: children capable of conducting and amplifying the telepathic and telekinetic powers of those around them. Told as a series of interlinked stories, Djuna's fractally unfolding thought experiments interrogate the nature of power, disability and illusion in the potential end of history. Film critic and speculative fiction writer Djuna first appeared as an online presence in the early 1990s. They have published nine short story collections, three novels and numerous essays and uncollected stories.
