Story of Your Life -- Ted Chiang

In this episode, Jacob and Kathleen discuss "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang, the novella that the hit movie "Arrival" was based on. We discuss time, the future, and the question that Ted Chiang poses to his readers: if you knew the future, would you change it? COULD you change it? Jacob also takes a deep dive into the first 500 words of the novella and talks analytics about Character, Plot, Conflict, and Description
