## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compelling phenomenon and compelling characters
*by D***I on 30 April 2025*

The media could not be loaded. Ted Chiang is one of my favorite authors. He presents these magical phenomenon as a truth in their respective worlds and his characters give these worlds even more depth. Recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought provoking, awe inspiring and marvellous
*by D***R on 12 May 2019*

Every story is different. In some of the stories like Tower of Babylon and Hell is the absence of God, the author creates a universe far different than ours. In Arrival he ponders over theoretical implications of science. In some he treats the ethical implications of science, and in others he asks what if the basic tenets of science itself is wrong. Every story is different, the premise of every story is different, the aftertaste of every story is different. Truly, a must read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Mind-boggling collection of stories
*by Y***K on 2 January 2017*

I bought this book to read 'Story of Your Life', after knowing the movie Arrival is based on this story. I read the story and as expected, it was mind blowing, and is beautifully written.Let me start with Story of Your Life. This is not another alien invasion story. It addresses a different scenario altogether. How to communicate with a species whose language is entirely different from any language that exists on the Earth? The way Ted Chiang introduces the beauty of science and linguistics along with love and relationship of a mother and a daughter is brilliant and beautiful. The way Louise explains watching her daughter grow up makes you fall in love with the character!I can write a three-page review just about this story. But I shouldn't limit this to just one story. Although I loved this one the most, I liked all the stories. Each story centres around a particular theme. It could be a problem, facet of the society in the present or past, varying from myths and religion to beauty and science.Two of my other favourites are ‘Hell Is the Absence of God’ and ‘Liking What You See: A Documentary’. The former focuses on religion while the latter deals with the perception of humans based on others' looks, or as he describes in the story, 'lookism’. The first is set within a world where the concepts of religion and faith are built upon facts and logic. Both are wonderful!Sometimes, I felt like I was watching an episode of 'Black Mirror' while reading these stories! If you have time to read, think and comprehend, I recommend you this book. This is the best Sci-Fi short story collection I've read so far.
