About this product
Product Information
From the author of Exhalation , an award-winning short story collection that blends "absorbing storytelling with meditations on the universe, being, time and space ... raises questions about the nature of reality and what it is to be human" ( The New York Times). Stories of Your Life and Others delivers dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, often presenting characters who must confront sudden change--the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens--with some sense of normalcy. With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by beauty and wonder. An award-winning collection from one of today's most lauded writers, Stories of Your Life and Others is a contemporary classic. Includes "Story of Your Life"--the basis for the major motion picture Arrival

Reviews
"Shining, haunting, mind-blowing tales . . . this collection is a pure marvel. Chiang is so exhilarating so original so stylish he just leaves you speechless. I always suggest a person read at least 52 books a year for proper mental functioning but if you only have time for one, be at peace: you found it." --Junot Díaz (author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao ) "Meticulously pieced together, utterly thought through, Chiang's stories emerge slowly . . . but with the perfection of slow-growing crystal." --Lev Grossman, Best of the Decade: Science Fiction and Fantasy, Techland.com "United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion." --China Mieville, The Guardian "Ted is a national treasure . . . each of those stories is a goddamned jewel." --Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing "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." -- Seattle Times "Chiang derides lazy thinking, weasels it out of its hiding place, and leaves it cowering." -- Washington Post "Essential. You won't know SF if you don't read Ted Chiang." --Greg Bear "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) "The first must-read SF book of the year." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "He puts the science back in science fiction--brilliantly." -- Booklist (Starred Review)

**PLEASE READ** THIS book is in good condition as listed. Books from this store are very hit or miss with the descriptions and conditions of their inventory. Some books listed as “good” are in great condition while other books listed as “good” should have been listed as “acceptable.” The book was packaged well with the rest of the books ordered. Seller has great prices, but it’s disappointing to pay for a book that is listed as “very good” or “good” and the book is tagged and scribbled on.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
