Yeah, I'm with Kate. "72 Letters" has got some way cool stuff in it, but it was "Story of Your Life" that really rocked my world. Simply one of the best stories I've ever read. I'm currently concentrating on this year's Hugo nominees in my fiction reading (Perdido Street Station and some of the short fiction to go) but when I'm done I'll pick up Ted's collection and get a head-start on next year, when "Liking What You See: A Documentary" will doubtlessly be on the ballot.

And ditto Cory: Ted's a really nice guy, and absurdly modest.
