Author Ted Chiang in Conversation with MIT President Sally Kornbluth
Ted Chiang talks with MIT President Sally Kornbluth about Exhalation, his 2019 collection of science fiction stories, which Kornbluth chose to mark ten years of MIT Reads. Their conversation centres on five of its stories: "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling," "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," "Omphalos," "What's Expected of Us" and the title story. Chiang's earlier "Story of Your Life" became the film Arrival. Free, with registration.
