Omphalos by Ted Chiang

---

I think Chiang is a strong writer when it comes to incorporating religion and science to speculate about our place in the universe. like in "stories of your life", he speaks about languages and free will. i found it completely relatable, being brought up in a religious community but studying in a scientific community, and on drawing my own conclusions.

5 stars because chiang managed to create a vivid alternative universe that was effortlessly believable while talking about religion, science and humanity.
