"Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang [pdf]
Hmm, a PDF hosted on a random personal web site at a University in Brazil. Seems legit.Can we please not post links to stolen (presumably-)copyrighted materials here?
If you'd like to compensate the author, consider buying the collection it's published in: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/193...

"Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang [pdf]
I highly recommend his collection, "Story of your Life, and others". Probably the best SF collection by a single author I've ever read.

What's expected of us
I highly recommend Ted Chiang. I really enjoyed "Story of your Life" available in this short story collection of the same name: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/193...Some of the stuff is a but uneven but he's written some of the most thought-provoking sci-fi I've read in some time.
⬐ dvanduzerI last heard his name when a good friend recommended "Hell is the Absence of God" to me.I later tried to recommend it to my mother, but found myself incapable of doing so.
⬐ lmmCan you explain Story of your Life? To me it just doesn't make sense, our consciousnesses don't work like that - which undermines any point it might be making.⬐ pattisapuLooks like "Story of Your Life" is going to be made into a movie. http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/10/ted-chiang-story-of-your-li...⬐ friendcomputerHmm. I'd like to say I'm excited but I really don't see how they will capture that story effectively in film.

That story is in Stories of Your Life and Others; I'd recommend the whole collection: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Others-Chiang/dp/193...

The Best Science Fiction Books (According to Reddit)
Someone who never appears on these list but is one of the rising stars in Scif-Fi isis Ted Chiang. He's not written a full length novel yet but his short stories and novellas are mind blowing, best stuff I're read since early Egan. Check out:Stories of Your Life and Others http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Your-Life-Ted-Chiang/dp/193152...)
The Lifecycle of Software Objects* http://www.amazon.com/Lifecycle-Software-Objects-Ted-Chiang/...
*if there's a more HN title for a novella ever I haven't heard of it!
