5/28/2023 0 Comments The story of your life and others![]() ![]() ![]() You won't know SF if you don't read Ted Chiang. 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. He puts the science back in science fiction - brilliantly. * Lev Grossman *Ĭhiang 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. Meticulously pieced together, utterly thought through, Chiang's stories emerge slowly.but with the perfection of slow-growing crystal. each of those stories is a goddamned jewel. 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. 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. Chiang is so exhilarating, so original, so stylish he just leaves you speechless. ![]()
