Description
A cult collection of sci-fi stories that inspired the film Arrival.
Ted Chiang, with penetrating intelligence and creativity, explores what it means to live in a world marked by deep uncertainty, yet filled with endless wonder.
What is it like to carve a path upward from the top of the Tower of Babel through a heavenly vault as hard as granite? What if all our mathematics is based on a fundamental error and 1 + 1 does not equal 2? How do you communicate with aliens who use a language that transcends our perception of reality?
Answers to these and other questions are sought in the first collection by the American master of short stories.
