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.

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.

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.
