I’m Waiting for You and Other Stories by Kim Bo-young | Book Club: Love, Free Will & the Cosmos

This month in book club, Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and I dive into one of the most quietly mind-bending works of speculative fiction we’ve read: I’m Waiting for You and Other Stories by Kim Bo-young, translated by Sophie Bowman and Sung Ryu. Structured as two pairs of interconnected stories, this collection explores love stretched across galaxies, time distorted by relativity, godlike creators questioning their own authority, and humanity wrestling with the meaning of free will. In “I’m Waiting for You” and “On My Way,” an engaged couple travel on separate interstellar missions, attempting to manipulate time dilation so they can return to Earth at the same moment to get married. But physics — and fate — have other plans. As centuries pass on Earth, the question becomes: can love remain constant when everything else changes? Then, in “The Prophet of Corruption” and “That One Life,” humanity is viewed through the lens of its creators — beings who see every person and particle as extensions of themselves. When one creation rebels, it is labeled a disease. But what if rebellion isn’t corruption… what if it’s evolution? This collection feels both intimate and cosmic — soft in tone, yet massive in scope. It asks deceptively simple questions: Who am I?What does it mean to choose?Is love enough to endure eternity? If you love speculative fiction that blends science, philosophy, and emotional depth, this one’s for you. We also share what we’ve been reading outside of Book Club lately.
