JUDITH HUANG

IS A MULTIMEDIA CREATOR,

ARTIST,

AUTHOR, EDITOR, TRANSLATOR,

SINGER-SONGWRITER,

EDUCATOR and TECHNOLOGIST

Her first novel, Sofia and the Utopia Machine, is about a young girl who feels abandoned by everyone – from her father who disappeared when she was 7, to her controlling but neglectful mother who wants her to be what she is not. She creates her own world in VR, but when this leads to a big bang in an actual universe in the Utopia Machine, which opens portals to other realms in the multiverse, in her mother’s secret government lab, she loses everything – her city, her country, her world and her illusions about society, and must go on the run with only her wits and her online friend, the mysterious “Isaac”, to help her. Will she be able to save her world as well as herself? The novel was shortlisted for the Epigram Book Fiction Prize 2017 and the Singapore Book Awards 2019.



Judith has always been interested in creating poetic, aesthetic experiences that use all the senses. She has been tinkering on the internet since 1997, when she first started building a html virtual reality called pseudoReality. When she was 17 she launched one of the first online retailers, Rachel and Judith, selling and marketing handmade jewelry in Singapore with clients abroad and at home, and had to ask her teenaged business partner’s mother for her credit card so she could use Paypal as one of its first vendors. She is now a multimedia artist working on actually building the Utopia Machine.
