Story of Your Life - The Arrival one
While I think the movie captured the sci-fi elements better. The emotional baggage of this story is brutal. A breakdown of memory, perception, and the barriers growing up builds between parents and children.
In essence, the whole story is just the tragedy of parenthood: meeting a new creature, learning its language, but unable to achieve fluency, then in a moment, they're gone.

Story 3 - Division by Zero - mathematics as a metaphor for falling out of love. Finally breached the empathy gap

Understand - short story 2 - basically Flowers for Algernon but it's the Borne Identity. Quite alright 👍

Gonna just log the individual short stories before they fall into the ether of my memory.
The "Tower of Babylon's alright," not the tower itself (rip), but the story. One of those fun reinterpetations of past perceptions as scientific fact, playing with modern scientific understandings through antiquated ideologies, but overall found it kind of eh as an opening story. Decent prose,but fell too often into exposition
