Johnson said that this collection shows why Chan's stories continue to win awards. Johnson wrote that it didn't take readers of new these stories very long to appreciate their quality and beauty. He added that science fiction relies on short-wish fiction writers to explore new ideas and push the boundaries of the area, while Chan demonstrated that he is more than up to the task. English fantasy author China Mivil wrote in a review in The Guardian that Chan's stories in this collection unfold with logic that is invulnerable and compassionate. Here, humanism is inextricably linked to rationalism, and it is the rationalism of the characters - and the writer - that makes them emotional and human. Meeville went on to say that despite the widespread use of mathematics, physics and language in history, they are imbued with a deep humanism that makes the most amallier philosophical hypotheses... resonant and emotional.

The main themes are language and determinism. The Story of Your Life won the Nebula Award in 2000 for Best Novel and the 1999 Theodore Sturgeon Award. He was nominated for the 1999 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The story has been translated into Italian, Japanese, French and German. In 2016, an adaptation of Eric Heisser's story Arrival and directed by Denis Villeneuve was released. Starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker and has been nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best film; it won the award for best sound editing. The film also won the 2017 Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Drama Presentation and the Hugo Award for Best Drama Presentation. The story of The Story of Your Life is told by linguist Dr. Louise Banks on the day of her daughter's conception. Addressed to the daughter, the story alternates between the story of the past: the arrival of aliens and the deciphering of their language; and remembering the future: what will happen to her future daughter when she grows up, and the untimely death of her daughter. Aliens arrive on spaceships and enter Earth orbit; 112 devices resembling large semicircular mirrors appear on websites around the world. Dubbed look glasses, they are audiovisual references to aliens in orbit, referred to as heptapods for their seven-limb radially symmetrical appearance. Louise and physicist Dr. Gary Donnelly are recruited by the U.S. Army to communicate with aliens, and are assigned to one of nine promising glass sites in the U.S. They are in contact with two heptapods they nickname Flapper and Raspberry. In an attempt to learn their language, Louise begins by communicating objects and gestures with the sounds the aliens make, which shows the language with a free word order and many levels of center-embedded clauses. She finds write to be semagram chains on a two- dimensional surface without linear sequence, and semaciographic without having a reference to speech. Louise concludes that because their speech and writing are not related, heptapods have two languages, which she calls Heptapod A (speech) and Heptapod B (letter). Attempts are also being made to establish the terminology of heptapods in physics. Little progress has been made until the principle of Fermat's deadline is presented. Gary explains the Louise principle by giving an example of the refraction of light, and that light will always take the route as quickly as possible. Louise reasons: Ray of Light needs to know where it will end up before it can choose a direction to start moving in. Louise understands that instead of experiencing events consistently (causality), heptapods experience all events at once (teleology). This is reflected in their language, and explains why the Principle of Fermat came naturally to them. Soon Louise becomes quite experienced in Heptapod B, and finds that when writing in it, train thoughts are aimless, and the premise and conclusions are interchangeable. She starts thinking in Heptapod B and starts seeing the time as heptapods do. Louise sees glimpses of her future and her daughter is not yet. This raises questions about the nature of free will: knowledge of the future does not imply free will, because knowledge of the future means that it cannot be changed. But Louise asks herself, What if the experience of knowing the future has changed a person? What if she aroused a sense of urgency, a sense of duty to act exactly as she knew she would? One day, after exchanging information with heptapods, aliens announce that they are leaving. They shut down looking glasses and their ships disappear. Never established why they leave, or why they came in the first place. Heptapod languages have changed Louise's life, and once she knows the future, she never acts against that future. Gary and Louise start spending time together and eventually get married. When Gary asks Louise if she wants a baby, she agrees, knowing that they are divorcing, and their daughter will die young. Background information in the History section notes the stories of your life and others, Chan writes that the inspiration for the story of your life came from his fascination with the variation principle in physics. When he saw the performance of American actor Paul Lee link in his play Time Flies When You're Alive, about his wife's struggle with breast cancer, Chan realized that he could use this principle to show how someone deals with the inevitable. As for the topic of history, Chan said that Kurt Vonnegut it's in its introduction to the 25th anniversary edition of his novel Slaughterhouse Five: Stephen Hawking... found it tantalizing that we could not remember the future. But remembering the future of children's play for me now. I know what will happen to my helpless, trusting children because they are adults now. I know how my closest friends end up, because many of them are retired or dead now... To Stephen Hawking and everyone younger than me, I say, Be patient. Your future will come to you and lie down at your feet like a dog that knows and loves you no matter what you are. In a 2010 interview, Chan said that The Story of Your Life is about the theme of free will. The philosophical debate about whether we have free will is abstract, but knowledge of the future makes this question really real. Chan added: If you know what's going to happen, can you keep it from happening? Even when the story says you can't, the emotional impact arises from the feeling that you should be able to. Chan spent five years researching and getting to know linguistics before trying to write The Story of Your Life. Admission to the New York Review of Books, American writer James Gleick said that The Story of Your Life raises questions: Will knowing your future be a gift or a curse, and will it be just an illusion? Gleick wrote, For us mere mortals, the day-to-day experience of a predetermined future is almost unimaginable, but Chan does just that in this story, he imagines it. In Chan's review of Stories of Your Life and Others, Chan's review of The Guardian's English science fiction writer China Miville described Story of Your Life as a tender with an amazingly touching climax that he said was amazing given that it was achieved through science. Writing in Kirkus Reviews, Ana Grillo called it a thought-provoking, beautiful story. He said that unlike the usual rate of lavish stories involving aliens, The Story of Your Life is a breath of fresh air whose goal is not only to learn to communicate, but also to communicate effectively. In a review in Entertainment Monthly, Samantha Schraub said that two narrative stories, Louise recalling the unravelling of the language of heptapods and telling her unborn daughter what would happen to her, creates an ambiguity and an atmosphere of mystery that makes the reader doubt everything that unfolds. Shraub called it a worthy award-winning sci-fi novel that will resonate with readers and leave them thinking about how they will live - or even change - their present if they know their future.
