PositiveThe Nerd Daily[Chiang\'s] uniqueness as a sci-fi author is that he chooses different paths than most of other writers – in The Lifecycle for example he focuses on the process, not the result, he takes his time and stays true to what he thinks is the most likely scenario, not to what would look \'cool\' ... Chiang’s greatness is that with all of that he manages to write compelling stories. He takes the more difficult paths, the longer ones, and still manages to hold our attention throughout the whole story. Yes, he focuses on science, but his fiction isn’t worse because of it.
