Sofia and the Utopia Machine

Sofia and the Utopia Machine
Sofia and the Utopia Machine

Futuristic Singaporean adventure reimagines creation.

If you're looking for a book that bridges the gap between the familiarity of life in Singapore and the extraordinary possibilities of science fiction, "Sofia and the Utopia Machine" is a gem waiting to be discovered. Judith Huang crafts a narrative that's as much about a personal quest as it is about societal structure and the power of imagination. As Sofia navigates through the class-divided future of her homeland, her journey offers a fresh perspective on creation myths, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in speculative fiction with a strong sense of place.

Description

Shortlisted for the 2017 Epigram Books Fiction Prize. A bold and fantastical work that posits a new cosmology within which a science-fictional vision of Singapore is rendered in dystopian terms. It’s a work that would sit perfectly on any Young Adult speculative fiction shelf, with its fast-paced and childlike sense of adventure. Sofia's father has been missing for seven years, and her controlling mother doesn't understand her. She attends a good school and lives in a nice Midlevel flat, but she's always felt like something was missing. When she unlocks the gateway to a whole new utopia, the truth comes crashing down around her—about her stratified society, her scientist parents, and her own existence.
