This one isn't for me. I read the first 2 stories and didn't care for either of them. I think neither Chiang's writing style nor his themes are for me. So I'm marking this as abandoned and leaving it at that.

9.96% "Finished the second story (Understand?). I don't like Chiang's writing style. And this story had so many technical issues (things that would/wouldn't happen). I'm kind of done with this book. I'm not going to mark it formally abandoned yet, but every time I think of picking it up, I get preemptively bored. I doubt I'll finish."
