WIRED Book Club: Loved Arrival? Check Out Ted Chiang’s ‘Story of Your Life’
Here at WIRED Book Club, we tend to read newer writers. Ted Chiang isn’t exactly that. Since publishing his first short story, “Tower of Babylon,” in 1990, he’s averaged less than a story a year, quietly cultivating a modest but devoted fan base that recognizes his work for what it is: sharp, spare, intensely thought-through science fiction. “Literary,” as some like to call it.
