2. Famous Ted Chiang SF short story 'Story Of Your Life' is usually misinterpreted as, like the movie version, being about time-travel/precognition; I explain it is.

Chiang's 'Story of Your Life' is excellent because it ties together seamlessly the high-concept science fiction with the emotional implications it explores, in a way much more resonant than a lot of sci fi short stories I've read.

Early life and career[edit]

Chiang was born in Port Jefferson, New York.^[2] Both of his parents were born in China, and immigrated to Taiwan with their families during the Chinese Communist Revolution before immigrating to the United States.^[3] He graduated from Brown University with a computer science degree and in 1989 graduated from the Clarion Writers Workshop. As of July 2002, he was working as a technical writer in the software industry and resided in Bellevue, Washington, near Seattle.^[4]

Critic John Clute has written that Chiang's work has a 'tight-hewn and lucid style.. [which] has a magnetic effect on the reader.'^[5] Chiang has commented on 'metacognition, or thinking about one’s own thinking' being something most humans, but neither animals nor current AI, are capable of. He has also commented on the lack of competition or regulation on some major tech companies.^[6]

Awards[edit]

Chiang has published fifteen short stories, novelettes, and novellas as of 2015, and has won numerous science fiction awards for his works: a Nebula Award for 'Tower of Babylon' (1990); the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1992; a Nebula Award and the Theodore Sturgeon Award for 'Story of Your Life' (1998); a Sidewise Award for 'Seventy-Two Letters' (2000); a Nebula Award, Locus Award, and Hugo Award for his novelette 'Hell Is the Absence of God' (2002); a Nebula and Hugo Award for his novelette 'The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate' (2007); a British Science Fiction Association Award, a Locus Award, and the Hugo Award for Best Short Story for 'Exhalation' (2009); and a Hugo Award^[7] and Locus Award for his novella 'The Lifecycle of Software Objects' (2010).

Chiang turned down a Hugo nomination for his short story 'Liking What You See: A Documentary' in 2003, on the grounds that the story was rushed due to editorial pressure and did not turn out as he had really wanted.^[8]

In 2013, his collection of translated stories Die Hölle ist die Abwesenheit Gottes won the German Kurd-Laßwitz-Preis for best foreign science fiction.
