Mass Market Paperback. Publisher: Random House USA | 2016 | Mass Market Paperback | 281 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: Stories of Your Life and Others"presents characters who must confront sudden change the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens while striving to maintain some sense of normalcy. In the amazing and much-lauded title story, a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her knowledge of alien languages and non-linear memory recollection. A clever pastiche of news reports and interviews chronicles a college's initiative to "turn off" the human ability to recognize beauty in "Liking What You See: A Documentary." With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty and constant change, and also by beauty and wonder. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
