About this listen

In this archival episode of The Soul of Life, Keith Miller sits down with award-winning science fiction writer Ken Liu for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, storytelling, technology, and what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world.

Liu explores the illusion of a single, stable self, drawing from philosophy, psychology, and his own writing to examine how identity continuously evolves over time. He challenges the modern obsession with "pure rationality," arguing that emotion quietly underpins every value system we claim is objective.
