His works have received prestigious awards, including four Nebula Awards, four Hugo Awards, six Locus Awards, and the PEN\/Malamud Award. His collection \u201cExhalation\u201d was named one of the ten best books of the year by the New York Times and made Barack Obama\u2019s reading list, while in 2023 Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the field of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">During Trieste Science+Fiction Festival 2025, he will be the protagonist of several events. On October 30 at 7:00 p.m., he will hold a dialogue called \u201cFuturi artificiali\u201d (Artificial Futures) on artificial intelligence with journalist Matteo Bordone as part of Mondofuturo, the festival\u2019s historic series of meetings between science and science fiction to imagine the world of tomorrow. On Saturday, November 1, at 5:00 p.m., he will address the topic of language with linguist Vera Gheno in the meeting \u201cWor(l)dbuilding \u2013 creare universi con le parole\u201d (Wor(l)dbuilding \u2013 creating universes with words). Both events will take place in Piazza della Borsa at the spectacular Sci-Fi Dome, a specially designed structure that will once again host the festival\u2019s extra events this year. The last meeting with Ted Chiang will take place on Sunday, November 2, at 5:00 p.m. at the Politeama Rossetti, where the writer will introduce the screening of Denis Villeneuve\u2019s Arrival with journalist Emilio Cozzi.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ted Chiang will also be the protagonist on October 25 and 26 of the fourteenth edition of Libri in Nizza, a festival of books and ideas in Nizza Monferrato, in the wine-growing hills that are part of the UNESCO site of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The award-winning writer will be the featured guest at several events during the Festival, including a talk on artificial intelligence and a discussion on language, and will introduce the screening of the film \u201cArrival\u201d at the Politeama Rossetti <a class=\"g1-link g1-link-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/ted-chiang-ospite-donore-al-trieste-sciencefiction-festival-2025\/\">More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-_featured","category-630"],"acf":[],"wps_subtitle":"Il pluripremiato scrittore sar\u00e0 protagonista di alcuni incontri durante il Festival, tra cui un talk dedicato all\u2019I.A. e un dialogo sul linguaggio, e introdurr\u00e0 la proiezione del film \u201cArrival\u201d al Politeama Rossetti","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53392"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57185,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53392\/revisions\/57185"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sciencefictionfestival.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
