SUMMARY:To Infinity and Beyond! Sci-Fi Book Club
DESCRIPTION:March's selection is Luminous by Silvia Park.  Copies are avai
 lable at the Circulation Desk.\n\n\nThis sweeping debut novel set in a uni
 fied Korea tells the story of three estranged siblings—two human\, one r
 obot—as they collide against the backdrop of a murder investigation to s
 ettle old scores and make sense of their shattered childhood.\n\n“I once
  had a family. At least\, the earliest version of me had a family.”\n\nI
 n a reunified Korea of the near future\, the sun beats down on a junkyard 
 filled with abandoned robots\, broken down for parts. Eleven-year-old Ruij
 ie sifts through the scraps\, searching for a piece that might support her
  failing body. There among the piles of trash\, something catches her eye:
  a robot boy—so lifelike and strange\, unlike anything she’s ever seen
  before.\n\nSiblings Jun and Morgan haven’t spoken for years. When they 
 were children\, their brother Yoyo disappeared suddenly\, leaving behind o
 nly distant memories of his laughter and near-human warmth. Yoyo—an earl
 y prototype of a humanoid robot designed by their father—was always boun
 d for something darker and more complex. Now Morgan makes robots for a liv
 ing and is on the verge of losing control of her most important creation. 
 Jun is a detective with the Robot Crimes Unit whose investigation is diggi
 ng up truths that want to stay buried. And whether they like it or not\, R
 uijie’s discovery will thrust their family back together in ways they co
 uld have never imagined.\n\n
