Arrival

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2020)

Ted Jiang's novel is not suitable for visualization, but the current treatment is really deep in the original mood. The language of aliens is like the idle pen of Oriental ink, like fog and smoke. All meanings are instantly presented and dissipated. It tells about communication and isolation. We are all trapped in a certain kind of self righteous civilization and prejudice. It calls for communication and communication, and it breaks down time. It's not so much science fiction as philosophy.
