Author of YA novel Loveboat, Taipei on new book The Vale, a story ahead of its time
The Vale, Abigail Hing Wen's latest young adult fantasy book, was written more than a decade ago by The New York Times bestselling author for her creative thesis at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. At the time, she felt that she was watching AI 'being incubated and seeping into all our lives', something that sparked a story about a 13-year-old boy who builds an AI-generated VR fantasy world to retreat to from reality. The idea was too far ahead of its time. 'Nobody knew what AI generation was, so my agent at the time shelved it,' Wen says. 'She said, 'I can't get behind this. I don't know what it is.' So I put it away for 10 years.' The cover of The Vale. Wen turned her attention to an entirely different genre and, in 2020, she wrote young adult fiction Loveboat, Taipei . The story was about an Asian-American teen who attends an educational programme in Taiwan that is nothing like she expected.
