Podcast appearances and mentions of grace chan

Grace Chan is a speculative fiction writer and psychiatrist. Her short fiction has appeared in Going Down Swinging, Aurealis, amongst many others, and she has been shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards, the Norma K Hemming Award, and Viva la Novella.  Today I've brought in Grace Chan's techno-futurist novel Every Version of You. In the not too distant future Australia, like much of the world around it, is a harsh and hostile place to live. Those with the means can protect themselves in hermetically sealed apartments and even afford the occasional luxury of fresh food that grew in the earth rather than a lab. Tao-Yi and Navin have grown up in a world in decline and have watched as their existence moved into increasingly digital spaces. The world of Gaia began as a digital frontier but now it is the place where Tao-Yi works and socialises. Gaia's immersive nature parallels the declines in Navin's health until it seems there is little choice but for Navin to upload himself permanently into the system. What harm could it do? Navin is convinced there are only benefits as he stares down his own mortality. So much of their lives already pass in Gaia, this would just be making it official. Tao-Yi is less sure. Her mother stubbornly refuses to log in and Tao-Yi doesn't know what it will mean for all of their humanity if she lets go of this terrestrial life. --------- I am a fan of science fiction and fantasy from way back, and while I rarely worry about the emergence of dragons into my workaday life, there is always something of a concern about bracket creep when it comes to near future speculative fiction. Where twenty years ago Every Version of You might have sat alongside The Matrix as firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now we can read updates on our own digital proxies about Neuralink implant chips into people's brains. I'm confident that I'll get this to you before the tech outpaces the story but not so much about the longevity of this review as anything other than an artifact. And so it becomes essential to engage with stories like Every Version of You, and so much the better that Grace Chan's novel is such a compelling read! The story is refreshingly ordinary even as it stretches us into the digital fantastic. The world of Tao-Yi and Navin is circumscribed much in the ways all our lives were during the pandemic and hence their escape into Gaia all the more relatable. The world of Gaia is both incredible and prosaic. Never fear that tachyon processing will free us of our most banal predispositions. Every Version of You assures us that we will still have insecurity and jealousy, but so also will we have ambition and love. Traveling alongside Tao-Yi we must face the possibility that the digital world is our world but that it cannot perfectly coexist with our flesh and blood selves. This entanglement is not clear cut and I cannot assure the book offers answers. It is the journey that is the adventure as we struggle alongside Tao-Yi and Navin to understand how they might continue to exist and to be themselves when so much of what that means is disappearing. This is also a love story and that was what completely suckered me into the futurism. I'm not so sure what it might mean to live forever, digitally or otherwise, but it has long been a concern of fiction to wonder how that long life and all its changes might impact our hearts. Could you love someone digitally and how do we let go of the humanness that comes with life as we know it. These are the real questions of speculative and science fiction; not how do we transcend our mortality, but how do we hold on when it seems to be escaping us?

This highly acclaimed, speculative novel tackles the mind-body problem, and the mystery of consciousness.  --- If given the choice, would you agree to be uploaded to an entirely digital existence: freed from death, pain, and suffering – because freed from the body? Or would you remain human on a dying planet?  That's the thought experiment behind Grace Chan's speculative novel Every Version of You, a book that fleshes out our anxieties and fears – and also, desires – about technology and how it affects what it means to be human.  In Chan's vision of the future, Australia in the 2080s has been ravaged by climate change. With the physical world in breakdown, people spend more and more time in Gaia, a digital paradise. But then the option to be uploaded to Gaia – indefinitely – becomes a reality. What will Chan's characters choose – and what would you?   In this episode of Life & Faith, Justine Toh interviews Grace Chan about her novel, the winner of the University of Sydney People's Choice Award at the NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2023.   Hear Grace talk about how her book has gotten book clubs buzzing and how her training as a psychiatrist influenced the novel's take on identity and the self. Then ask yourself: would an uploaded humanity remain human?  Explore  Seen & Heard: Mrs Davis and other tech misadventures, featuring Grace Chan's Every Version of You.  Would you want to be uploaded to a digital heaven? Justine Toh's article for CPX  Grace Chan on Twitter 

The CPX team freaks out about AI, explores stories of “efficiency” run amok, and probes our tech utopias.    --- The apocalypse will be ... boring.  Or so says Charlie Warzel, tech journalist for The Atlantic. He means that AI won't put you out of a job or take over the world, so much as overstuff your inbox and give you more mind-numbing tasks to complete.  Other people in the know about AI are less optimistic. Geoffrey Hinton, the “godfather” of AI who resigned from Google in May, Sam Altman, the CEO of the company behind ChatGPT, and others have sounded the alarm: AI is progressing too quickly, no one knows exactly how it works, and without careful regulation it will upend life as we know it.   There are a lot of unknowns where technology is concerned. One thing we do know, though, is it makes for great TV, and stories and books.  In this edition of Seen & Heard, the CPX team debriefs on what they've been watching and reading.   Natasha takes us through the twists and turns of Amazon Prime's Mrs Davis, a “bonkers” show about a nun facing off against Mrs Davis, the all-knowing algorithm against whom she has a grudge.   Simon looks at the way George Saunders' short story “Escape from Spiderhead” (and the Spiderhead film based on it) explores how “the greater good” is used to justify all kinds of evils.   Justine looks closer at the digital utopia on offer in Grace Chan's speculative novel Every Version of You, and finds that its promise of agelessness, no death, no suffering, and no body is basically heaven without God.     Explore:  ABC article on Replika  Every Version of You by Grace Chan  Escape From Spiderhead by George Saunders (via The New Yorker)  Mrs Davis trailer  Her and a Disembodied Future by Mark Stephens  Andy Crouch's Richard Johnson Lecture on why technology keeps disappointing us and Q&A  Charlie Warzel: Here's how AI will come for your job

BEST OF SPIN OFF The Regular with Nathan Phillips and Grace Chan #2

Are there times when you wonder what sort of world our children and grandchildren will inherit? Grace Chan has created an online world called Gaia in which the people of 2080 take refuge from the climate ravaged earth. Gaia is clean, beautiful and exciting and it's just announced the opportunity for citizens to shake off their bodies entirely and permanently upload their consciousness to it. Gaia seems to have everything, but is it enough? And… Join Annie Hastwell's discussion with retired ABC Radio host Annie Warburton about Phillip Roth, the author whose book “Portnoy's Complaint” was considered so filthy in 1969 it was banned from being imported into Australia. The ensuing court battles helped define Australia's censorship laws and ensured an end to book bans in this country. Guests: Grace Chan, author of “Every Version of You” Annie Warburton and Annie Hastwell discuss Philip Roth's books “Portnoy's Complaint” (1969), “The Breast” (1972), “My Life as a Man” (1974), “The Human Stain” (2000), “The Plot Against America” (2004) and “Nemesis” (2010) Our Random reader: Mads Grace's tsundoku contains “Empathy” by Fay Lee, “Everything Feels Like the End of the World” by Else Fitzgerald, “Terminal Boredom” by Izumi Suzuki, “I'm waiting for You” by Bo-Young Kim and “Where the Stars Rise: Asian Science Fiction and Fantasy” edited by Lucas K. Law and Derwin Mak Mads was first inspired to read by the Ramona Quimby books by Beverley Clearey, then “Tomorrow When the World Began” by John Marsden and the complete works of Jane Austen. These days she's reading “Raising Girls” by Maggie Dent, “Seeing Other People” and “Love and Virtue” by Dianna Reid, “The Paper Palace” by Miranda Cowley Heller and “A Room Made of Leaves” by Kate Grenville.

I'd always known Calam would run. He had all the signs. A taut restlessness, body brittle as an overstretched lute string, when we stayed too long in one place. A gloom in his eyes, as we drifted through stretches of dead space. A sullen crease between the brows, whenever I tried to ask how he'd landed in that dead-end Martian workshop at seventeen. But after ten years, why now? | Copyright 2022 by Grace Chan. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

Yes it's THE Grace and Christine as in Grace Chan and Christine Sutherland who are the founders of Sutherland Chan School of Massage Therapy. We had an opportunity to meet Grace at Sutherland Chan in Toronto and she invited us back to record this episode in her meeting room. Christine joined us via zoom as she's on the west coast somewhere near Alaska working on yet another book! These two incredible women have not seen each other face to face in over a decade and this reunion was emotional, beautiful, and humbling for us to listen to the stories of how these two friends became more like sisters and are solely responsible for most of what we in Ontario know as Massage Therapy education. Listen to hear Christine and Grace reminisce about creating the curriculum upon realizing that what we had just didn't cut it, and how they started the school with little to no business savvy but a ton of heart, resilience, and guts to make a change.

The Regular: Nathan J Phillips and Grace Chan

Hosted by actor Lucas Ng and comedian Josh Yang. Full ep. on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LuiuXna216E | This week, Hong Kong born and Vancouver raised Canadian actress joins us from Hong Kong to share her experience going from SFU Communications graduate to winner of the Miss Hong Kong 2013 & Miss Chinese International 2014 pageants! We discuss how she handled the spotlight as a pageant winner and the support she received from family. As a mother of two, and a working actress, TV host, and model in Hong Kong, Grace shared how she has balanced her career with motherhood as well as her growing social media following and content. We also get to know a different side of her that's not as well known, mainly her high school obsession with WWE wrestling!

Music from East Asia has recently been making its way round the world on waves created and mediated by new technologies and global interconnections. This may seem like something very novel, but as Andrew Jones shows in Circuit Listening: Chinese Popular Music in the Global 1960s (U Minnesota Press, 2020), popular music from this region – and here specifically varieties of Chinese music – has been riding revolutionary technological and socioeconomic currents for a long time. Events during the 1960s, that quintessentially musical decade, prove this, and Jones' book asks the key questions about genre and periodisation which help us understand whether there was a ‘global 60s', while also examining the geopolitical currents connecting and dividing Taiwan, China and Hong Kong at this time. The book is thus not only a rich source of insights into stars such as Grace Chan, Teresa Teng and Taiwanese folk troubadour Chen Da, but also offers a whole framework for understanding the shifts in globalisation and communication which continue to shape our soundscape today. Ed Pulford is a Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on friendships and histories between the Chinese, Korean and Russian worlds, and northeast Asian indigenous groups. Learn more about your ad choices.
