A really fantastic collection of speculative fiction, I can't recommend this one enough. The story on which Arrival was based is good, but the others in this collection are also excellent.

Agree with the other posters above. A fantastic, imaginative collection of short stories-including the story Arrival was based upon. Definitely worth the price.

The story "Understand" alone is worth it, way better than Limitless and, well, smarter.

One of the best short science-fiction story writers currently. An unheralded gem of a writer.

Story of Yours Life had me bawl my eyes out, especially as a father to a daughter. Can't recommend it enough

Ted Chiang's other short story collection Exhalation is one of my favorites (especially The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling). Really enjoyed this collection as well, highly recommended.
