Stories of your life and others is a must read - truly beautiful, deep and thought provoking writing that I can highly recommend. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/223380


As can I, Story of Your Life is one of the best pieces of fiction I've read. He's always good at communicating interesting (and often provocative) ideas, but that story also blends it with a wonderful portrayal of grief. On top of that, the structure of the story itself is a reflection of the ideas discussed in the story.

As I said when I reviewed that book on Goodreads, if I'd spent the £11.40 for the book and only received that story, it would have been more than worth it.


I read that as a short story in the Nebula anthology, and then again when "Story of your life and others" came out.

That was more than a decade ago, and I still think about it more often than most sci-fi stories I've read.
