"Shining, haunting, mind-blowing tales . . . Ted Chiang is so exhilarating, so original, so stylish he just leaves you speechless." â€”Junot DÃazÂ

Ted Chiang has long been known as one of the most powerful science fiction writers working today.Â Offering readers the dual delights of the very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar,Â ArrivalÂ presents characters who must confront sudden change. In "Story of Your Life," which provides the basis for the filmÂ Arrival,Â alien lifeforms suddenly appear on Earth. When a linguist is brought in to help communicate with them and discern their intentions, her new knowledge of their language and its nonlinear structure allows her to see future events and all the joy and pain they may bring. In each story of this incredible collection, with sharp intelligence and humor, Ted Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by wonder.
