Ted Chiang re-defines my understanding of speculative fiction, science, and human experience through this phenomenonal collection. Ted Chiang is a champion of methodical, patient, loving, and kind writing -- he embraces you through technical writing that somehow opens up a new understanding of an intimate part of your own life despite the absurdity of the premise of each narrative. A beautiful time.
