Stories of Your Life and Others is a collection of short stories by American writer Ted Chiang originally published in 2002 by Tor Books. It collects Chiang's first eight stories. All of the stories except "Liking What You See: A Documentary" were previously published individually elsewhere. It was reprinted in 2016 as Arrival to coincide with the adaptation of "Story of Your Life" as the film Arrival. Chiang's second collection, Exhalation: Stories was released in 2019.
This is my favorite format of science fiction : short but thought provoking stories. Surprisingly, the story that gave the name to this book is far from being the best in my opinion. If you want mind-bending novels that are both fun and at the same time disturbing, this book is a must-read.
特德姜擅长把一个概念拓展成一个世界。他的故事是另一个世界的一片截面，常常是我们随着主角一起去探索世界。其力量感也正在于此。
我特别喜欢审美滤镜那篇。
