Entry updated 31 March 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) Singapore author who began to publish work of genre interest with "The Forgotten" in Clarkesworld for July 2022. Much of her work shares a loose Near Future common background, including the two novellas assembled as Other Minds (coll 2023): in the Cyberpunk-inflected Hard-Sf "Other Minds", an AI-generated and curated Virtual Reality image of a nostalgic version of the City of Singapore threatens to dispossess its user/inhabitants of their autonomy; in "Courier", a Space Habitat "becomes!" the AI that it embodies, complicated a thriller plot. Boey's first novel, Club Contango (2025), likewise set in a Space Habitat, also entangles its protagonist through a crime, the murder of her partner in a previous enterprise, while at the same time Avatars of previous iterations of her flesh self begin to haunt her as she attempts to keep the eponymous casino afloat.
