Ted Chiang
Science Fiction Author
關於
Ted Chiang (姜峯楠, born 1967) is an American science fiction writer of Taiwanese descent, widely regarded as one of the most acclaimed authors in the genre despite a deliberately small output. A computer science graduate of Brown University, he works as a technical writer and has published two landmark short story collections, Stories of Your Life and Others (2002) and Exhalation (2019). His 1998 novella "Story of Your Life" was adapted into the 2016 film Arrival. In recent years he has become one of the sharpest critics of AI hype through essays in The New Yorker, including "ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web" and "Why A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art," and was named to Time's 100 Most Influential People in AI in 2023.
