Stories of Your Life and Others

maybe I'm just not a fan of the genre but other than Stories of Your Life, none of the stories in this collection were that great. second best was Tower of Babylon which was a fun concept but I'm not sure the twist worked (trapped inside torus world?).

Understand could have been great if the author had the diction to write in a style of a super intellectual egomaniac who didn't care what normals thought. but the story was just a blowhard bragging about his abilities (in mostly high school grad level vocab - oh yeah, he's SUPER smart!).

The worst: Seventy-Two Letters, which was a convoluted mess with a story that went nowhere

like I said, maybe SF isn't my thing, but these stank.
