In the description there are detailed time stamps that give you the scope of how spoilery different point of our conversation were. I had a blast filming this and hope you enjoy our conversation 😊
I’m only 2 minutes in, is Ken saying that he taught himself engineering and coding enough to get a job at Microsoft??? That’s incredible I can’t even wrap my head around it
This was indeed an amazing interview, Angela, you did great. Now I want him to write a sequel detailing the development of the governmental system and finally answer the question of “but where does voting come into it?!”😂 I don’t care if I’m one of like three people that’d read it. It would be worth it
Such an interesting conversation. That point about how we aren't conflicted about our identities until we are forced to put ourselves into boxes dictated by society, there is so much to unpack there. Skipped the potentially spoiler bits about DD because I am 100% going to at least try book one still and want to go in without knowing much.
I really enjoyed this interview. I listened to the entire thing and it made me even more excited to start Grace of Kings. This looked like you and Ken Liu had such a fun time digging into discussions and themes. It brought me so much joy.
This was an amazing interview! I enjoyed it so much! I wasn't planning to watch the whole thing until I finished the Dandelion Dynasty, but I ended up watching the whole thing haha...and now I'm super excited to finish the series. Ken Liu is so interesting to listen to.
Wasn't intending to binge this in one go, but here we are. Once Ken Liu starts talking, it's just impossible to stop listening. What an amazing interview, Angela. This brought my nerdy heart so much joy!! Thanks for sharing 🤩🤩
finally had time to sit down & watch this, and boy was it worth it! 💖 great interview with so many interesting topics. i could listen to you two talk for hours!
Also thank you! Its always interesting preparing for conversations cause I want to have ideas to keep the flow going but also have to let things flow where they naturally want to go and I felt like I got to accomplish that here!
@LiteratureScienceAlliance you did it perfectly! Sometimes I feel like people speak over each other but there was none of that here. It was also so nice to see how much you enjoyed speaking to him and vice versa. It was a long interview but I could have watched for hours. Well done. ❤️
Brilliant! Thanks for this 😊 Loved it, especially the part about scifi and fantasy. The pigeon-holing of books, and people, does frustrate me so much. Need to start Dandelion Dynasty 🤓
Thank you, I really appreciate this. I was really happy with how the interview flowed and it was because of some behind the scenes prep work so I am glad it shows 😊
At 51:17, woth all die respect and to the credit of the Star Trek writers, they DID SHOW Vulcans who were violent in the pastand a ti logic and many whonalliednwith Romulans who were abainst logic and Klingons who were more spiritual and pacifistic. But I appreciate his point, but msybe he needs to brush up on his Trek eppisodes heh. Thanks for sharing this.

I just finished reading The Hidden Girl and this interview asks everything I wish I could ask the author and more, thank you for this
I could listen to Ken Liu for ages and never have enogh of his great thoughts.

Every moment of this interview, from beginning to end, was absolutely incredible. 💜
I am so glad you enjoyed it!!

This discussion was absolutely fascinating. I'm just staring off into space in wonderment over this man's brain.
That's what I thought when I saw him at an author signing, which is why I knew he had to be the one to kick off this series

The exact same thing happened to me when I went to the author signing of speaking bones 😂
@@LiteratureScienceAlliance I totally get why. 😂

Whoaaaaa Angela you are such a thoughtful interviewer! I really appreciate how you put voice to careful reading. So excited for more of these!! 😻
Thank you for watching! So glad it was a good experience for you and thank you for the kind words 🥰
If possible, it would be great to have a part 2 talk with Ken Liu!!
So much more content in the dandelion dynasty to go over 😊

I also have to say that your questions were perfection Angela. I'm so excited for this series moving forward 🎉

Thank you.
Such a great discussion. What an interesting person!
I loved the discussion around "social engineering"
His view on tech is so interesting to me. I am glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant! Thanks for this 😊 Loved it, especially the part about scifi and fantasy. The pigeon-holing of books, and people, does frustrate me so much.
Need to start Dandelion Dynasty 🤓
I hope you enjoy the Dandelion Dynasty as much as I did when you do get to it!
Awesome interview and great questions. I really enjoy you picking Ken's brain.
It was really fun getting to ask the questions and hear all his insightful answers!
This was such a fantastic interview!!
Congratulations on this fantastic interview. You asked some really great questions and it was clear that you were suuuuper well prepared, bravo!
Thank you, I really appreciate this. I was really happy with how the interview flowed and it was because of some behind the scenes prep work so I am glad it shows 😊
This was a fantastic interview! Super interesting to watch.
I had a great time interviewing him! He has such an interesting way to view the world and think of answers to problems
Love this interview !!
i have never been more excited for a video EVER
completely irrelevant note but his little collection of handheld gaming devices is so fun
I think I saw in another interview that he likes to take them apart and try to get them to work again!
i'm obsessed with the flying hippos moniker 😂
I've only watched part of this so far because I have to get back to work but this has been so fascinating so far!
Also, patents! I cannot escape them!
They really are everywhere 😂
Loved this!
This was a nice surprise! I just finished reading The Hidden Girl collection so this is perfect timing.
That's always the best!
Ken Liu?!! How cool! ❤❤
YAYYYYY
Amazing!
I remember when I first read a short story by him for the discussion you guys had on it in 2020. Time truly means nothing 🤣
I love this series!!!
Thank you for watching!
