Lo studio di una lingua aliena; un ormone che aumenta l'intelligenza; un mondo funestato dalle apparizioni angeliche; il mito della Torre di Babele e quello del golem; una rivista scientifica del futuro; un ritocco al cervello che rende indifferenti rispetto alla bellezza; una rivoluzionaria dimostrazione matematica che finisce per negare il concetto stesso di matematica. Questi sono i soggetti degli otto racconti di Ted Chiang, tra i quali «Storia della tua vita», la novella che ha ispirato il film «Arrival».

Goodreads Review of Stories of Your Life and Others

Ted Chiang is the best, and I think he needs no explanation. The best-known story in here is "Story of Your Life" (better know as the film Arrival). But, I think the best story in here is "Hell is the Absence of God." All of the stories left me thinking a bit after, and I'm continuing to do so now. The last set of stories in my version were also in Exhalation, so I skipped over them.

Incredibly creative

This is one of those science fiction books that really manage to blow your mind with the possibilities that the writer proposes. As a short story collection, you're always left out wanting more of the stories. But they are as long as they have to be.
