Chiang story of your life6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Pretty much all of the stories have a thought-provoking premise, so much so that it felt like many of them were written with the express purpose of exploring a particular, profound idea. Reading this section felt like getting bonus "behind the scenes" material. ![]() ![]() I very much appreciated the "Story Notes" included at the end of the book, in which the author describes a bit of the motivation behind each story. (It may or may not be worth noting that none of these stories explicitly include any Asian characters, but I'm still putting it on my figurative "Asian" shelf for author representation.) I picked up this book because my husband, who is a big fan of sci-fi, enjoyed it, and I liked the idea of supporting an Asian American author by reading his work. I generally do not read much sci-fi, so I'm not exactly the target audience for this collection of short stories. ![]()
