Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

Stuart¡¯s first review of the year

it was amazing
What a great first finished read of the year. The best fiction short story collection I¡¯ve ever read. Totally mind-bending and prescient (the Oscar winning Arrival is based one of the shorts within).

This is pioneering stuff on the future of humanity as we know it. Highly recommend. Now off to read the follow up ¡°Exhalation¡± for the last of my dissertation research.
