Stories of your life and others by Ted Chiang is a collection of science fiction short stories unlike any other I‘ve read. If you‘re looking for action-packed space adventure, this is not the book for you. Instead, these stories explore different thought-experiments: what if a new drug accidentally leads to superhuman cognitive capacities? What would humans have found at the top had they been able to build the tower of Bable? How would life be different if humans couldn‘t perceive beauty in human faces?
