“Liking What You See: A Documentary” really stuck with me. I think about it a lot when I see what people have done to themselves due to Hollywood, marketing, beauty industry, instagram, TikTok, etc.
Apparently AMC has rights to make a series about that one. I haven’t heard anything about it for years.
Understand or Tower of Babylon were probably my favorites, after Story of Your Life. I loved the cat and mouse game towards the end of Understand, the shirt was such a brilliant concept. Limitless could have been so much better of a movie.
I think most of Chaing’s work really needs multiple reads. Especially Story of Your Life, because of obvious reasons. Having the context of the full picture makes the smaller aspects fuller.
I decided to watch Arrival tonight. It’s great so far! I’m glad they captured the sense of awe and uncertainty well. I’m about halfway through (intermission now - taking a snack break).
Yes, I read it as part of a collection of his short stories. I enjoyed the philosophical conundrums in all of them.
That collection is great.

This is making me want to go back and read them again. They seem like the kind of stories I might get even more out of the second time around.
