Also good for keeping track of Ted: http://tedchiang.blogspot.ca http://tedchiang.blogspot.ca which mentions that "Story of your Life" was optioned for a film directed by Nic Matthieu (also working on Robotech) and adapted by Eric Heisserer.

  Not sure how good that resource is. It was last updated on 2012, and things happened since then :) It doesn't mention his new story The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling, available at http://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/fall_2013/the_truth_of_fact_the_truth_of_feeling_by_ted_chiang http://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/fall_2013/the_truth_of... Or a recent appearance at the EXPO 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_632pic1PlU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_632pic1PlU

    Oh my God, a new Ted Chiang story. I have to say, having read everything he's written, I'm curious what a full novel would look like, though I'd be happily content if he just came out with a short story/novellete/novella a year forever. He just puts so much thought into his world-building it's incredible.
