Has anybody read Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang?
Fun fact: it got made into the film Arrival.
Yes, I read it as part of a collection of his short stories. I enjoyed the philosophical conundrums in all of them.
That collection is great.
“Liking What You See: A Documentary” really stuck with me. I think about it a lot when I see what people have done to themselves due to Hollywood, marketing, beauty industry, instagram, TikTok, etc.
On that note, I completely recommend the second compilation of other short stories, Exhalation.
