iridium79. Stories of Your Life and Others, Ted Chiang. an excellent collection. a big part of science fiction is thought experiments, postulating a "what if" and building a story (or a whole world) around it. every story in this set is a distilled experiment of that sort; the questions he asks are all fascinating to start with, and the stories are elegant, well-crafted. very tasty.
(currently reading: other magazine, Rolling Thunder: an anarchist journal of dangerous living, and a collection of texts of solo performance which makes me want to go out and find tapes of Lord Buckley and Lenny Bruce, now.)
(finished reading other. also tasty. it's the utopia/dystopia issue, and now i want to go read through a bunch of books listed on the "Timeline of Feminist Utopias". the reviews are great.)
