All of the stories except "Liking What You See: A Documentary" were previously published individually elsewhere. It was reprinted in 2016 as Arrival to coincide with the adaptation of "Story of Your Life" as the film Arrival. Chiang's second collection, Exhalation: Stories was released in 2019.
Questo libro sembra scritto ieri, eppure ha già più di vent'anni.
Tutti i racconti sono affascinanti, ma soprattutto l'ultimo racconta una facciata della società… attualissima. Non vedo l'ora di leggere altro di Chiang, se è tutto di questo livello… wow.
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.
特德姜擅长把一个概念拓展成一个世界。他的故事是另一个世界的一片截面，常常是我们随着主角一起去探索世界。其力量感也正在于此。
我特别喜欢审美滤镜那篇。
The stories were interesting speculative journeys, but none of them really inspired me that much. Read up to Seventy Two Letters, and then my loan expired.
The only reason I finished this book is that I don't like to give up. I will also cop to the fact that I'm probably not smart enough to get it, and miss the hype. These stories bored me. I find the whole God thing dumb. The narratives are weak. And mostly, it felt like the stories were divided between the religious stuff, and the science-du-jour type. And most of the stories fell flat in the end.
