Book Review: Story of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
I found to my surprise that I never posted by Amazon.com review of Ted Chiang's brilliant (but to my taste too nihilistic) STORY OF YOUR LIFE AND OTHERS here on my livejournal. Let me rectify that oversight at once.
(WARNING! I am a science-fiction writer in economic competition with Mr. Chiang. All my gripes must be taken with a grain of salt.)
Eight well-crafted stories with engaging and interesting ideas are marred by weak endings. Each story ends with tepid pessimism.
MILD SPOILERS AHEAD.
