Lo studio di una lingua aliena; un ormone che aumenta l'intelligenza; un mondo funestato dalle apparizioni angeliche; il mito della Torre di Babele e quello del golem; una rivista scientifica del futuro; un ritocco al cervello che rende indifferenti rispetto alla bellezza; una rivoluzionaria dimostrazione matematica che finisce per negare il concetto stesso di matematica. Questi sono i soggetti degli otto racconti di Ted Chiang, tra i quali «Storia della tua vita», la novella che ha ispirato il film «Arrival».
