If I could only take one book to a deserted island, it would be this one. It’ll take me years of rereading to understand science and philosophy like Ted Chiang! These are incredibly human stories in science fiction realities, where people must still grapple with truth, regret, and mortality. Will be thinking about this book every week for the rest of forever!
