Review of 'Expiration' on 'Goodreads'

J’ai trouvé ce second tome de nouvelles de Ted Chiang globalement plus accessible que le premier tout en étant aussi génial et plaisant. Chaque histoire possède son lot de richesse et force à la réflexion tout en proposant un caractère absolument unique. Ted Chiang confirme sa position en tant que très grand auteur de SF et ça fait extrêmement plaisir !
