he writes what i like to call "thoughtful sci-fi" - you could read the story that the movie arrival is based on, story of your life - another one that i liked was tower of babylon
anyway he has two books with short stories which will definitely make you think
This is the sci-fi novella that the movie Arrival is based on. It beautifully combines aliens, linguistics, questions about free will, and sad familial drama. And it's only 54 pages long!Β After reading, go watch Arrival. It's also amazing.Β
A collection of short stories by Ted Chiang including Story of Your Life which was adapted into the movie Arrival. I've only read 3 of the 8 so far (Tower of Babylon, Story of Your Life, Liking What You See: A Documentary) and they've all been great.
today someone told me something about myself and they were just so completely off base that i started questioning my tone and facial expressions bc that was in no way the vibe i was going for
a related anti rec: people who meet you once and assume that they know everything about you (which they obviously donβt)
