Tower of Babylon -- Understand -- Division by zero -- Story of your life -- Seventy-two letters -- The evolution of human science -- Hell is the absence of God -- Liking what you see: A documentary -- Story notes
Stories of your life and others delivers dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, often presenting characters who must confront sudden change -- the inevitable rise of automations or the appearance of aliens -- while striving to maintain some sense of normalcy
