SciFi-Fantasy Book: "Stories of Your Life and Others " by Ted Chiang


Details
What if men built a tower from Earth to Heaven-and broke through to Heaven's other side? What if we discovered that the fundamentals of mathematics were arbitrary and inconsistent? What if there were a science of naming things that calls life into being from inanimate matter? What if exposure to an alien language forever changed our perception of time? What if all the beliefs of fundamentalist Christianity were literally true, and the sight of sinners being swallowed into fiery pits were a routine event on city streets? These are the kinds of outrageous questions posed by the stories of Ted Chiang. Stories of your life . . . and others.
** The event can only begin at 19h15 due to the room being used before-hand. Please arrive as close to 19h15 as possible, so we do not disturb the previous group. **
