NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking Korean phenomenon that Entertainment Weekly called “The Hunger Games meets Squid Game”—now in English for the first time!
“An immersive and utterly addictive dark dystopian thriller . . . with the eerie, desperate, and exhilarating vibes of Snowpiercer and The Hunger Games.” —Susan Lee, author of Seoulmates
In a world of constant winter, only the citizens of the climate-controlled city of Snowglobe can escape the bitter cold—but this perfect society is hiding dark and dangerous secrets within its frozen heart.
Enclosed under a vast dome, Snowglobe is the last place on Earth that’s warm. Outside Snowglobe is a frozen wasteland, and every day, citizens face the icy world to get to their jobs at the power plant, where they produce the energy Snowglobe needs. Their only solace comes in the form of twenty-four-hour television programming streamed directly from the domed city.
The residents of Snowglobe have everything: fame, fortune, and above all, safety from the desolation outside their walls. In exchange, their lives are broadcast to the less fortunate outside, who watch eagerly, hoping for the chance to one day become actors themselves.
Chobahm lives for the time she spends watching the shows produced inside Snowglobe. Her favorite? Goh Around, starring Goh Haeri, Snowglobe’s biggest star—and, it turns out, the key to getting Chobahm her dream life.
Because Haeri is dead, and Chobahm has been chosen to take her place. Only, life inside Snowglobe is nothing like what you see on television. Reality is a lie, and truth seems to be forever out of reach.
Translated for the first time into English from the original Korean, Snowglobe is a groundbreaking exploration of personal identity, and the future of the world as we know it. It is the winner of the Changbi X Kakaopage Young Adult Novel Award.

In a world where -50 degree Fahrenheit is normal Chobohms dream is to become a director in Snowglobe, the glamorous place where actors and directors produce shows to entertain the rest of the people and also the only place that isn´t freezing cold. When she gets the opportunity to step in for a famous actor that she shares the same face with, she takes it despite her moral conflict and who can blame her really in this cruel world she lives in? But little does she know of the grand plan she stumbled into... I was at times a little underwhelmed because this book promised A LOT which is why it didn´t get five stars but nevertheless it was great! Suspense was good. Unexpected twists and turns? Check. Some weird psycho plan that only korean writers seem to come up with? Hell yeah, but still moderate enough to let it count as a YA book. I really enjoyed Snowglobe and stayed up way too late to finish it. Can´t wait for Book 2 which will be the last in this duology.
