Incredible read. Cutting-edge science fiction short stories that were all deeply imagined and fully realized. There was some exceptionally prescient commentary about AI in there; Ted Chiang is truly a visionary. One of the stories in here is the inspiration for the movie Arrival as well, and I'm a total sucker for alien linguistics.
