Yoon, David

(circa 1972-    ) US author whose first two books are nonfantastic Young Adult tales; he is of sf interest for Version Zero (2021), which is set in a Near Future world. The protagonist of the tale, feeling victimized by the Media Landscape environment of his place of employment, takes revenge by attempting to reboot the Internet with the intention of improving the world. The consequences of unravelling contemporary life are subject to Satire. Contrastingly austere, City of Orange (2022) thrusts its wilfully Amnesiac protagonist into various survival challenges in a Near Future America (or so it seems) transfigured into desert landscapes. Various Last Man tropes are enacted. [JC]
