`A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.` – The Guardian
With Stories of Your Life and Others, his masterful debut collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably varied stories.
The title novella 'Story of Your Life' was the basis for the Academy Award-winning film Arrival, starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.
From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth to the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang`s unique imagination invites us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
`United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang`s calm passion` – China Miéville, author of The City and The City
