A review by seaweed
Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

seventy two letters is truly a crazy story. if you want to take a look into the history of science and understand the phrase "you wish for mankind to proliferate through nomenclature", give it a shot.

the other stories felt less impactful, even though the narrators were doing an incredible job (abby craden??? hello???). several of them are about insecurities regarding intelligence, and after finding out that chiang has a degree in comp sci, I am not surprised.
