“It’s about the present and the future, simultaneously.”

Stanley Chen, a speculative fiction writer and Berggruen Fellow, connects with the Vaster Than Empires II project by exploring the deep historical and cultural layers of Rome. For Chen, the experience of walking through the eternal city, where history is physically present in every stone, offers a unique ontological perception of time. This immersive environment sparks meaningful conversations with fellow writers about world-building, the future, and technology, blending the past, present, and future in a shared creative space.
