About This Novel
"Story of Your Life" collects eight of Ted Chiang's early works: "The Story of Your Life", the original novel of the movie "Arrival", his debut novel "Tower of Babel", and "Enlightenment", "Division by Zero", "Seventy-two Letters", "The Evolution of Human Science", "Hell is the Absence of God", "A Pleasure of the Eye" - A linguist learned an alien language, which completely changed her world view. In order to get closer to God, humans cut down wood and burned bricks, pulled carts and built towers. After countless generations of hard work, they finally built a majestic Tower of Babel that stands between heaven and earth. With just a small bottle of potion, you can have superhuman intelligence. This temptation is irresistible. It's a pity that there is more than one Superman. After the soul-stirring Superman showdown, he realized the ultimate wisdom. Dividing any number by zero will never give a meaningful result. What is the result if the relationship between two people is divided by zero? In a world where "names drive everything", nomenclators play with the seventy-two letters to find the code for the reproduction of the human race. When all human scientific research is limited to interpreting post-human scientific research results, is this kind of research still necessary? The wife dies while an angel descends to earth, but the husband must learn how to love God in order to be reunited with his wife after death.

Shock in silence
It feels like a very strange and shocking feeling. This is not the kind of instant shock caused by a sudden visual impact or explosive information, but the kind that quietly gushes down like running water and gradually gathers into a shocking force for the soul. After reading it carefully, you will have a feeling that yes, it should be like this. The interspersed story lines are like the way of thinking of the heptapods. It is not linear, but like a giant painting displayed in front of you, quiet and silent, but impacting the soul.
story of your life
Changes in the perception of time should affect a person's behavior. But the heroine knew the known future in advance but did not try to change it, letting everything happen normally, afraid of the unknown?
Tower of Babel
After discovering the truth, the male protagonist still didn't wake up, but praised the greatness of God? All I can say is that if you jump down from the top of the tower, you might be able to see it.
The content of this book is very interesting, please read it slowly.
