He's considered these things from a variety of angles.įor instance, he rejects the notion that his writing "transcends genre", as, in his opinion, this is the kind of thing that people who don't usually like science fiction say - the implication being that the rest of the genre isn't very good, and that this thing that they somehow like is some kind of aberration. You get the impression from Ted Chiang that he spends a lot of time thinking generally, and about science fiction especially, so his thoughts, when he does finally express them are fully-formed. Local sci-fi and fantasy author, Karen Healey happily lets Chiang talk about the things that interest him about the genre he writes in.
