So I started this book thinking the short story the movie Arrival was based on was in this book, turns out it is in a different book lol. THat being said I still love all science fiction and these short stories were so good. If you're a fan of science fiction that touches on new tech in our modern world and the moral implications, this is for you. 

My favorite stories were: The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate, Exhalation, The Lifecycle of Software Objects, and The Truth of Fact the Truth of Feeling.
