This is a fantastic anthology of sci fi short stories. I haven't read Ted Chiang's work before, but I loved the movie Arrival, an adaptation of one of his stories. I didn't think there were any stories in this compilation that missed - they were all creative and compelling each in their own way. I was particularly a fan of The Lifecycle of Software Objects, Omphalos, and Exhalation. I'll definitely want to read more of his work.
