Love Ted Chiang, but don’t think he needs my ideas.

Ficciones is a is a collection of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges, who I discovered in college decades ago and is still my favorite literary sci-fi author of all time. He's a very unique character. Borges is definitely worth reading if you like highly dense science fiction-ish stories with lots of literary allusions and poetry and all kinds of clever prose weaved in. My favorite story of his is probably The Library of Babel, which is a classic. If you haven't read that and you like sci-fi, I highly recommend it. It's one of my two favorite short stories of all time, the other one is Understand by Ted Chiang who is also a genius.

“Understand” by Ted Chiang is a brilliant revisit of “Flowers for Algernon.” Drop everything and read it.

My current favorite short story, sci-fi short story: probably “Understand” by Ted Chiang. It’s in a collection called Stories of Your Life and Others. “Story of Your Life” was made into that movie called Arrival.

@pkedrosky Suggest "The Story Of Your Life and Others" by Ted Chiang, especially "Understand." Modern sci-fi, worthy of Borges.
