Praise for Ted Chiang’s
Stories of Your Life and Others

“Confirms that blending science and fine art at this length can produce touching works, tales as intimate as our own blood cells, with the structural strength of just-discovered industrial alloys.”

The Seattle Times

“Summarizing these stories does not do justice to Chiang’s talent….Chiang derides lazy thinking, weasels it out of its hiding place, and leaves it cowering.”

The Washington Post

“Ted Chiang’s stories mirror the process of scientific discovery: complex ideas emerge from the measured, methodical accumulation of information until epiphany strikes….The best science fiction inspires awe for the natural properties of the universe; it renders the fundamentals of science poignant and affecting. Mr. Chiang’s writing manages all of this.”

The Economist

“Throughout all his work, though no more so than in ‘Story of Your Life,’ you can feel his months of removing sentences from his stories. Perhaps that he writes so little does something good for him, or maybe it’s just that he doesn’t write enough.”

The Millions

“The stories range widely in time, subject and style but are united by a patient but ruthless fascination with the limits of knowledge.”

Los Angeles Times

“Chiang is one of those authors who prove the power of science fiction by looking at things in totally new ways.”

The Denver Post

“Probably—without exaggeration—the most anticipated short story collection of its generation.”

The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy

“Chiang writes seldom, but his almost unfathomably wonderful stories tick away with the precision of a Swiss watch—and explode in your awareness with shocking, devastating force.”

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Chiang’s stories are audacious, challenging and moving. They resemble the work of a less metaphysical Philip K. Dick or a Borges with more characterization and a grasp of cutting-edge science.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Ted Chiang puts the science back in science fiction—brilliantly.”
