/lit/ - Literature

This is so dissapointing. After Lifecycle of Software Objects (included to ramp up the page count), I guess Chiang is an one trick pony. There's some Sindbad-like fable, something about Parrots, alternate timeline where Creationists figure out they're not the center of the Universe via astronomy... just weak, weak, weak. He never could write but at least he had good ideas.

I'm at titular story now and he's still fighting to find any sort of foothold that might finally drive the narrative upwards.
