Arrival

Its very unusual to see someone with the ability with both math and language, Ted Chiang has merged it perfectly. Great histories and great innuendos.

Sehr tolles Buch

Ted Chiang is in my opinion one of the greatest writers of our time. Calling it science fiction, although that is the theme of most stories, is somewhat reductive. His stories convey, much, much more. He's capable of being intellectually captivating without ever being redundant. And the science fiction themes, the one one linguistics, on free will ecc, have a, humanistic, heartfelt depth that leaves you in awe and beauty for as long as the memory of the story will stay with you (forever). Ted Chiang enriched and is enriching our inner life, and is contributing to our evolving as conscious individuals as great pieces of art are meant to do.Happy and expansion is what I feel when a think of, reread, or read, his timeless work.

Historias magníficamente narradas, que exploran inteligentemente las consecuencias últimas de cuestiones como la imposibilidad de probar la consistencia de las matemáticas, la forma global del espacio, el futuro como parte de un espacio-tiempo único, la inteligencia artificial y muchas otras, y tambien alguna de caracter más estrictamente filosófico, como el problena del mal. Un maestro indiscutible de la ciencia ficción, o quizá sería mejor decir de la filosofia de la ciencia novelada.Wonderful stories, intelligently exploring the ultimate consequences of matters such as the imposibility of proving the consistency of mathematics, the global shape of space, the future as part of a single spacetime, artificial intelligence, and many others, and also some of a more strictly philosophical character, such as the problem of evil. An undisputed master of science fiction, or perhaps it would be better to say of the narrated philosophy of science.

pretty cover to go with the excellent short stories collection, i like the floppiness of the book. great quality.
