This collection brings together all seven stories published to date by Ted Chiang, along with an eighth story written especially for this volume. Chiang poses provocative questions: 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 are arbitrary and inconsistent? What if there were a science of naming things that brings life into 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 stories of Ted Chiang, stories of your life and others.
