A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years
A newly repackaged 25th anniversary edition of Stories of Your Life and Others, the collection of science fiction masterpieces whose title story inspired the blockbuster film Arrival
"Ted Chiang is so exhilarating, so original, so stylish he just leaves you speechless. I always suggest a person read at least fifty-two books a year for proper mental functioning but if you only have time for one, be at peace: you found it." —Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Ted Chiang has long been known as one of the most powerful science fiction writers working today, and Stories of Your Life and Others introduced him to a mainstream audience.
Offering readers the dual delights of the very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, Stories of Your Life and Others presents characters who must confront sudden change. In the amazing and much-lauded "Story of Your Life" (adapted in 2016 into the Academy Award-nominated film Arrival, starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker), a grieving linguist copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her new knowledge of an alien language and its nonlinear structure. In "Liking What You See: A Documentary," a clever pastiche of news reports and interviews chronicle a college's initiative to turn off the human ability to recognize beauty. In "Understand," a young man has an amazing reaction to an experimental drug used to heal brain damage.
In each story, with sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by wonder.
