Ted Chiang

Review: the science-fictional triangle whose points are explanation, and wonder and warnings about the unknowable or unknown.

Review: sf as experiment, real world and realist fiction as controls.

Review: the novum. Novums within novums.

Review: the idea of genres and subgenres, which branch out over time.

One particularly reflexive subgenre.

Review: sf asks about historical change.

SF also asks about an afterlife.



"Liking What You See" helped inspire influential YA SF.

"Story of Your Life" is now a movie.

An interview with Chiang.

Louise is a reader.

Fiction as face.

Fiction as mirror.

People who misunderstood Hopi.

Nietzschean Eternal Return.

Ideas about characters.

Narrative usually works like that. Real life works like that.

What if we could see our lives like that?
