Title: Maybe I discovered him too late
Review: Maybe I discovered Mr. Chiang too late. I read the rave reviews of his work and read part of the first story online, I became very enthusiastic. When I finally received the book in the mail I did have a pretty good time reading the first part of the first story. It was very original and the world building was better than I'd seen in years. But. It kind of got stuck right there. The second half of the story was a let down and the other stories in this collection didn't grab me at all. I gather that some of these stories are pretty old by now and perhaps I would have enjoyed them more if I'd read them when they first came out.
