The solution is short story gives is that if you do know the future, you are the unable to act against your knowledge. He brought up Borges' Book of Ages, and the inherent contradiction in knowing the future. There was an extended part when it's explicit that the non-sequential way of processing time isn't "precognitive thinking." There's simply no way that the heptapods or any human that wants to think like them will have precognitive abilities That looking glass viewport in the story has now been turned into a giant spaceship that the humans need to fly through.

The trailer for the movie suggests that there's going to be more action and thrills than found in the story. I can think of many others that have hit harder for me about the exploration of alien ways of thinking and living. I also thought that Vonnegut's story Slaughterhouse Five did a better job exploring the idea of chrono-omnipotent aliens and their "meh" attitude than the Chiang's heptapods one.ĭidn't hate the story, but at the end I was kind of surprised that it has received such a high level of praise for it. That's the nature of chaos theory, or black swan events. Nobody can know everything that will happen in the future, the farther out in time one considers. I have no problem with an alien being that experiences seeing 360-degrees all around them evolving a thinking pattern that requires them to know ahead of time how a sentence will end before committing to writing it, but there's simply no way that the heptapods or any human that wants to think like them will have precognitive abilities.įor further proof, look up the definition of black swan events. It doesn't make any sense that the heptapod way of thinking allows their brains to see all future events that happen to them. I preferred the linguistic science discovery process and the backstory on the heptapod mode of thinking/writing much more plausible than the mother-daughter story, which I thought relied far too much on something I found implausible.
