The Ted Chiang movie adaptation is on the way

Posted byDamien WalterPosted inWriting & Publishing

Ted Chiang is, without any argument, the best science fiction short story writer of the last decade. He’s almost unknown outside the SF community, and is one of the humblest guys you will ever meet. Now there’s a film coming based on his work. Chiang is a clinical prose stylist, and a rigorous conceptual think. I do not know how well any of that will transfer to the screen, but I am very excited to find out.

  1. So exciting!

    My partner recently asked me for something to read that would spark his “sense of wonder” (I read a lot more SFF than he does) and this story came straight to mind.
