I have never looked at the news the same way after watching Nightcrawler.

    The book that contains the story Arrival is based on, Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang, is my favorite short story collection.

    Vonnegut’s Welcome to the Monkey House is also a good short story collection.

      If Ted Chiang could write more than one short story a year, I think he might be the greatest living fiction author. Basically everything he writes is a revelation.

      Exhalation isn’t quite as good as Stories of Your Life and Others, but it’s still amazing.
