4.5 stars for the second story. Imagining a superior threshold of intelligence is a futile experiment due to our ego, and also the limits of our own intelligence — but Chiang did a darn good job.

3.5 stars for the fifth story. Loses itself in its complexity, but would make one hell of a movie if adapted by the right director.

4 stars for the fourth short story. One could spend days debating it.

3.5 stars for the second short story. Amazing concept, tepid delivery.
I loved the following passage: “The answer was simple. It was a matter of the existing difference between sympathy and empathy.”
— A really good look at loss of faith and the inability of someone to empathise with one who has their core principle shaken.
