SUMMARY:In Conversation with Author Ted Chiang
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 16\, 2026 @ 7 PM via Zoom \nTed Chiang has become a definitive voice in speculative fiction\, captivating readers with his award-winning collections Stories of Your Life and Others and Exhalation. He possesses a masterful ability to bridge the gap between rigorous scientific inquiry and the profound depths of human emotion. His work serves as a modern exploration of the “what if\,” often using our evolving relationship with technology to challenge our understanding of free will\, memory\, and consciousness. These stories resonate because they grapple with the fundamental questions of what it means to be sentient in an evolving universe. In this keynote\, Chiang will discuss various themes found in Exhalation: Stories\, with a focus on the persistence of wonder and how shifting the lens of logic can fundamentally alter our perspective on the nature of existence. \nSponsored by the Hopewell Valley Regional School District and the Friends of the Pennington Library
