StoriesofYourLifeandOthers

Stories of Your Life and Others is a collection of masterpieces that has recently taken Hollywood by storm.

One of the lead stories in the collection is set to become a major motion picture starring Amy Adams, while another story has been optioned by Fox and is currently in development.

This collection offers readers the dual delights of the very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, presenting characters who must confront sudden change.

For example, in the amazing and much-lauded “Story of Your Life,” a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her new knowledge of an alien language and its nonlinear structure.

In “Liking What You See: A Documentary,” Chiang utilizes a clever pastiche of news reports and interviews to chronicle a college's initiative to turn off the human ability to recognize beauty.

Additionally, in “Understand,” a young man experiences an amazing reaction to an experimental drug used to heal brain damage.

Throughout each story, Chiang's sharp intelligence and humor examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by wonder.
