he writes what i like to call "thoughtful sci-fi" - you could read the story that the movie arrival is based on, story of your life - another one that i liked was tower of babylon anyway he has two books with short stories which will definitely make you think

This is the sci-fi novella that the movie Arrival is based on. It beautifully combines aliens, linguistics, questions about free will, and sad familial drama. And it's only 54 pages long! After reading, go watch Arrival. It's also amazing.

A collection of short stories by Ted Chiang including Story of Your Life which was adapted into the movie Arrival. I've only read 3 of the 8 so far (Tower of Babylon, Story of Your Life, Liking What You See: A Documentary) and they've all been great.

i sometimes feel like asks get lost among other posts and go answered - you never know if the original asker or someone else still needs the answer to a question so why not go ahead and answer even if it’s from a week/month/year ago ❤️
