'Wildly and, yes, luminously emotional.' Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library 'Searching and masterful, Park's Luminous engrossed me completely.' Sierra Greer, author of Annie Bot In a fictional near-future Korea, robots have integrated seamlessly into society. They are housekeepers and policemen, teachers and bus drivers. They are our lovers. They are even our children. Siblings Jun and Morgan Cho haven't spoken to each other in several years. The children of a celebrated robot designer, both are still grieving the loss of their brother Yoyo, the earliest prototype for what humanoid robots have now become--nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. But Yoyo was always bound for a darker purpose, and his absence has left a chasm in the siblings' lives. When a strange disappearance thrusts the siblings back together, neither of them realizes that the investigation will not only force them to confront their fractured family's past, but will also bring them back to Yoyo himself. At once a thrilling page-turner and a heartfelt story of the ties between siblings, Luminous is an unforgettable literary debut.

Sammendrag: Romanen "Luminous" følger søskende Jun og Morgan Cho i et nær-fremtidigt Korea, hvor avancerede humanoide robotter lever side om side med mennesker. Deres afdøde "bror" Yoyo var en tidlig robotprototype udviklet af deres berømte far, og hans forsvinden har efterladt et stort tomrum. Da en mærkelig sag dukker op, bliver Jun og Morgan tvunget til at arbejde sammen igen. Efterforskningen trækker tråde tilbage til Yoyos oprindelse og til skjulte sider af familiens historie. Undervejs udforsker romanen forholdet mellem mennesker og kunstig intelligens, minder og identitet, sorg, kærlighed og hvad det vil sige at have en familie, når grænsen mellem menneske og maskine bliver flydende.
