I'm Waiting for You: And Other Stories
Translated by Sophie Bowman
About
An engaged couple coordinate separate missions to distant corners of the galaxy, using relativistic time dilation to ensure they arrive back on Earth on the same day — their wedding day. But delays compound, centuries pass on Earth while months pass on their ships, and the simple act of meeting at the altar becomes an epic of devotion spanning civilizations. Kim Bo-Young's speculative fiction collection pairs two sets of thematically linked stories that use science fiction's grandest tools — time travel, space exploration, the heat death of the universe — to examine the most intimate human questions. What would you endure to keep a promise? How long can love survive when time itself conspires against it? Stories that prove the best science fiction isn't about technology — it's about the human heart pushed to distances where only the essential survives.
