Stories of Your Life and Others

Overall, a great collection of short stories. As a linguist, I was hesitant to read “Story of Your Life”, because many (most?) scifi authors grossly misinterpret linguistics. But, I really enjoyed that story—easily 5/5. It is Sapir-Whorf (ugh), but in an interesting and (crucially) non-racist way, and coupled with ideas (probably not the right word) from physics; it was an interesting combination. I also really enjoyed “Hell is the Absence of God” and “Seventy Two Letters”.
