Product Description

SFX
The level of ideas and concepts at work are nothing short of breathtaking

Product Description
Here are eight astonishing science-fiction stories that explore the boundaries between science and religion, between determinism and our ability to choose, between words and the entities they describe. Here are stories of conceptual breakthrough...of making sense of the universe and our place in it. 'What a pleasure it is to read Chiang...Can he be the best SF writer to come down the pike in the past thirty years? I honestly believe that he is' Harry Harrison 'Superb and thought-provoking. I could run out of superlatives trying to describe Chiang's work. Stories of Your Life is the best collection of short stories, novellas and novelettes I have ever read...Ted Chiang will blow you away with this astonishing collection' The Alien Online

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Crafted, 2 Mar 2005
By Sandy Buchanan (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
This has to be one of the best SF short story collections I've read in a long while. The concepts and McGuffins that drive the plots- from the disproving of arithmetic to an industrial revolution based around golems to a society that can prevent the perception of beauty- are novel and intricately thought out. Moreover, they provide a motor for human drama that stops them simply becoming cold philosophizing and makes them genuinely moving. Ted Chiang feels completely in control of his story-telling, relying on ingenuity and subtle writing, rather than bombastic fireworks, to incite wonder. Read it if at all possible!
