proeliator 's review for:

4.0

Great collection of short stories, especially "Story of Your Life," which was made into the film "The Arrival" (which wasn't as good as the short story). I used to read a lot of short stories back in the day, but drifted away from that genre for some reason. I may have to get back into it, because Chiang has written others that I'd like to read. These stories are not of the "hard sci-fi" type that I enjoy more, but nonetheless are good because the characters are drawn very realistically. If you like sci-fi, I'd definitely give this collection a try.
