What a weekend! There is really nothing happier than a full house at a bookstore 😍

And to gather and listen to Ken Liu has made this an unforgettable experience.

We live in a world where “our existence has never been more existential”. This world is officially more human-made than natural, and are we going to continue to be more deeply troubled or to believe that each and every one of us has the capacity to make change?

These were very hard questions Ken asked us back. And what struck me most was the very core of his new book, All That We See or Seem — that in a world (just “5 seconds into the future”), dominated by AI, humans continue to desire making dreams, sharing stories together.

And that’s what we did today. In the parlance of this new book, Ken was our “oneirofex”, our dream-maker, we came together to share stories and humanity.

If you missed this, or haven’t read any Ken Liu (swipe to see our current collection I made him sign 🤩) I highly suggest you check out any of the titles by @kenliu.author for a look into this fascinating mind (and wonderful human being).

I appreciate @bloomsbury_export and @definitelybooks so much for this opportunity to host this #bookchat and @kinokuniya_singapore for making all this possible.

Isabella from @twolilcheeks had a first class view and I am so grateful for the close-up moments she captured ❤️

PS. I gave Ken a gift at the end of the session. It was the most incongruous thing 😂 Check out my #reels for the video!
