The swell film adaptation always sends me to the source material, so the arrival was for me to pick up Ted Chang's Stories of Your Life and other lean, relentless, and incandescent. --Colson Whitehead, Gz Chan writes with a rude and ready-made heart that resembles George Saunders and Stephen Millhauser, but he is uncompromisingly cerebral. --The New Yorker Blend absorbs storytelling with reflections on the universe, existence, time and space . raises questions about the nature of reality and the fact that it should be human. --The New York Times shines with brutal, minimalist elegance.

If you don't know his name, let's fix it. For now. --Karen Joy Fowler, author of We're All Completely Beside Ted Chang Surprises. You have to read it. --Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble United Humane Intelligence, who speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience every story with Chan's spontaneity and quiet passion. --China Mieville, The Guardian Ted is a national treasure . Each of these stories is a bloody gem. --Corey Doctorow, BoingBoing confirms that mixing science and fine art in this length can produce touching works, tales as intimate as our own blood cells, with the structural power of newly discovered industrial alloys. --The Seattle Times Chan makes fun of lazy thinking, caressing him from his hiding place, and leaves him cringing. --Washington Post Essential.

He collects Chan's first eight stories. All stories except Liking What You See: The documentary has previously been published individually elsewhere. It was republished in 2016 as Arrival to coincide with an adaptation of The Story of Your Life as the movie Arrival. Chang's second collection, Exhalation: Stories, was released in 2019.

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.

It's a period of turmoil in Britain, with the country's politicians electing to remove the UK from the European Union, despite ever-increasing evidence that the public no longer supports it. And the small town of Lychford is suffering. But what can three rural witches do to guard against the unknown? And why are unwary hikers being led over the magical borders by their smartphones' mapping software? And is the European question really important enough to kill for?
