Ted Chiang: Stories of Your Life and Others

Certainly technology will continue to force us to reconsider our ideas of what constitutes a human being. I'm skeptical, however, of some of the more extreme "Singularity" scenarios that have been offered (although they can be entertaining to explore in fiction), and I'm wary whenever anyone claims that an ascent to godhood is our destiny.

TED CHIANG was born in Port Jefferson, New York. He and graduated from Brown University in Providence RI with a degree in Computer Science. The same year, he attended Clarion. He moved to Seattle to work as a technical writer in the computer industry.
