In this episode of Futurology, Liu joins Berggruen Press’ Executive Editor Nils Gilman to explore how AI blurs the line between artist and audience, code and consciou...

As we navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, the question isn't just whether machines can think, but how their thinking will transform our own....

KEN LIUWhat can translation and transmission of ideas and stories over time teach us about a society -- and about storytelling? Guest Ken Liu joins us to talk about the intertwining of philosophy, imagination, and translation. As writers, we can never fully translate the story that plays out in our heads onto the page, because every reader will imagine something a little different. How do we embrace that and celebrate it as a lovely part of the human condition?
This plays into how we construct our fictional worlds as well. The stories a culture tells about itself and i...
