About this product
Product Information
With his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose. From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality. . . Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasia invites us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.Product Identifiers

Thought provoking
This guy loves to play with the workings of the human psyche and the conditions we create for ourselves. Each of the stories is his investigation of another aspect of being human, pushed to its limits. Fascinating, worth it for far more than trying to understand 'Arrival', which is why I bought it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
