Stories of your life

Ted Chiang shows over and over that he really does his homework while researching for a story, so if you enjoy reading a good story with a clear and solid technical background intermingled in the plot, you’re in for a special treat! His prose and style just flows so easily that anyone can pretty much follow the logic behind the varied themes behind each story even if you’ve never read about object oriented programming or Fermat’s Principle before.
