Set in near-future Seoul, The Algorithm of Spring is a chilling literary novel about intimacy, conformity, and the quiet violence of optimisation. Maya Kim is an artist who has learned to live slightly out of sync with the world around her. When a ubiquitous new platform-designed to optimise love, careers, and social belonging-begins to shape everything from dating and beauty to marriage and reproduction, refusal is no longer a neutral act. It is a red flag. As friends, family, and institutions align themselves with the system, Maya finds that absence itself has become suspicious. Opportunities stall. Histories are rewritten. Even her most private choices begin to register as data anomalies in need of correction. The Algorithm of Spring explores a society where care is indistinguishable from control, and where opting out is reclassified as instability, inefficiency, or risk. Elegant, unsettling, and fiercely intelligent, this is a novel about what happens when freedom survives only as a rounding error.
