Stories From Your Life and Others

Stories of Your Life and Others delivers dual delights: the very, very strange and the heartbreaking familiar. In this collection, characters must confront sudden change—the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens—with some sense of normalcy. Eschewing clichés and stereotypes, author Ted Chiang uses sharp intelligence and a wry sense of humor to examine what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty but also by beauty and wonder. An award-winning collection from one of today's leading speculative fiction writers.
