Short Story #3 "Divison by Zero"
Honestly, after the second story I had thought it couldn't get any more mathematical. Well, I was wrong. This story felt like having to read a university paper on the laws of math - tiring.
Please, let there be less mathematical stories.

Short Story #8: "Liking what you see: A Documentary"
I really enjoyed this one! The story handles a very complex idea - lookism - very well, without actually coming to a result. It's rather a debate, that's why its format, a documentary, is well chosen.

Short story #7 "Hell is the Absence of God"
I found this story quite entertaining! However, as usual, I did not really grasp the ending. I thought the story ridicules religion, but now it seems like it reinfoces it? I probably don't see what the author wants to express here.

Short story #5: "Seventy-Two Letters"
Though a bit too abstruse for my liking, this story posed some interesting ideas about the human species and society.

Short Story #4: Story of your Life
This one was faaar better! Probably because I like linguistics, but in general it felt a bit more humane and relatable.

Short story #2: Understand
Better than the first one, though I lost trace of the innee monologue as the character grew more and more intelligent...

Finished the first short story, Tower of Babylon. I did not really get into it and got easily bored by the descriptions of travelling and mining. The ending also was a bit underwhelming.
