Stories of Your Life and Others

These stories really stick with you. What a treasure of a collection! “Story of your Life” will definitely stick with me forever in a way the movie (also amazing) simply will not. This collection was actually not as hardcore sci-fi as I thought. Much of it was a meditation on the power of language, with science fiction being the tool he uses to discuss these ideas in. I highly recommend this collection to any lover of fiction, genre aside.
Except the math ones. The math ones are very mathy. I liked them, but they are probably not as universally appreciated as ones like Tower of Babylon or the others.
