Note publique d'information : La 4e de couverture indique : "With Stories of Your Life and Others, 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 fantasias invite us to question
our understanding of the universe and our place in it."
