Story of Your Life had a cleaner ending in Arrival (2017). Pretty good though.

Se gli uomini avessero costruito una torre fino al cielo? Se un farmaco incrementasse l'intelligenza? Se i fondamenti della matematica fossero arbitrari e inconsistenti? Se l'esposizione a una scrittura aliena modificasse la nostra percezione del tempo? Se una scienza del dare nomi chiamasse alla vita la materia inanimata? Se la ricerca scientifica fosse monopolio di una casta di mutanti? Se angeli di salvezza e distruzione apparissero quotidianamente per le strade? Se ci fosse modo di rimanere indifferenti alla bellezza fisica?

Goodreads Review of Stories of Your Life and Others
5 stars
Ted Chiang is the best, and I think he needs no explanation. The best-known story in here is "Story of Your Life" (better know as the film Arrival). But, I think the best story in here is "Hell is the Absence of God." All of the stories left me thinking a bit after, and I'm continuing to do so now. The last set of stories in my version were also in Exhalation, so I skipped over them.

Incredibly creative

This is one of those science fiction books that really manage to blow your mind with the possibilities that the writer proposes. As a short story collection, you're always left out wanting more of the stories. But they are as long as they have to be.

特德姜擅长把一个概念拓展成一个世界。他的故事是另一个世界的一片截面，常常是我们随着主角一起去探索世界。其力量感也正在于此。
我特别喜欢审美滤镜那篇。
