Krátke "sci-fi" poviedky, ktoré sa zároveň dotýkajú hlbších filozofických či morálnych otázok. Kaleidoskop rôznych štýlov, historického aj futuristického prostredia, optimistického aj pesimistického nazerania na budúcnosť. Pokiaľ je potencionálny čitateľ fanúšikom filmu Arrival (predlohou ktorého je jedna z autorových poviedok, konkrétne Príbehy vášho života), ocení aj túto zbierku, avšak je nutné dodať, že z môjho subjektívneho pohľadu nie všetky poviedky dosahujú rovnakú kvalitu motívu ako aj spracovania. Skrátka inšpiratívna oddychovka.

Viac o knihe
Includes 'Story of Your Life' the basis for the major motion picture Arrival, starring Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker, Jeremy Renner, and directed by Denis Villeneuve.With his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose. From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality. . . Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasia invites us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
