  • “Tower of Babylon” - Fascinating “Babylonian Sci-Fi” story utilizing ancient pre-science cosmology to great effect.
  • “Understand” - Probably my least favorite of the bunch. Not bad, has some great ideas, but I didn’t much care for the ending.
  • “Story of Your Life” (basis for the film Arrival) - In some ways it’s better than the movie, but I think I prefer the movie simply by the nature of having seen it before reading. Still, a wonderful story.
  • “Seventy-Two Letters” - A sort of ethical examination of hypothetical steampunk biology. I liked it, but it got quite confusing at times.
  • “Hell is the Absence of God” - Far and away my favorite story here. A haunting, magic-realist Book of Job.
  • “Liking what you See: A Documentary” - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but why?
