In 2010, film director Michael Langan adapted Christian's poem "Heliotropes" into a short film of the same name, which was published in the final issue of Wholphin magazine.
He was interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show on March 8, 2011.

In 2023, he was awarded a Clarendon Scholarship at Lincoln College at the University of Oxford.
In 2014, Vanity Fair magazine reported that The Most Human Human was the "night-table reading" of Elon Musk.

The Alignment Problem was named a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for best science and technology book of the year.
The New York Times in 2024 named The Alignment Problem one of the "5 Best Books About Artificial Intelligence," writing: "If you're going to read one book on artificial intelligence, this is the one."
