Ted Chiang · 2002
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“Another one is Story of Your Life and Others. This is Ted Chiang. This is maybe my favorite sci-fi book of all time. It's a bunch of short stories.”
Why: It does high-art sci-fi by taking one weird idea and exploring what the world would look like.
