“Story of Your Life” was originally starlight 2an anthology edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden, which was subsequently collected along with Chen’s other short stories. your life and other people’s stories. This was my first encounter with the author and a great way to get to know him. His ability to bring so much depth and resonance into such a short work continues to amaze me. This novel will break your heart and put it back together again. It’s still my favorite first contact story.
