O conto que dá título ao livro, ganhador do prêmio Hugo em 2009, é a mensagem alarmante de uma civilização muito mais avançada e já extinta de seres com órgãos mecânicos.

Publicadas originalmente em volumes diversos, as narrativas de Ted Chiang estão pela primeira vez reunidas em uma coletânea. Entre as histórias dotadas de rigor científico, humanidade e lirismo estão “A torre da Babilônia”, na qual um minerador sobe a famosa torre com a missão de escavar a abóbada celeste; “Divisão por zero”, uma reflexão precisa e devastadora sobre o fim da esperança e do amor, e “História da sua vida”, na qual uma linguista aprende um idioma alienígena que modifica sua visão de mundo.

In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novels—Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973—that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of age—the unnamed narrator and his friend the Rat—are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakami’s later books, and form the first two-thirds, with A Wild Sheep Chase, of the trilogy of the Rat.

But this approach backfires dramatically. Why? Because it completely gets wrong the primary driver behind purchasing decision-making: once purchase intent is established, customers no longer care about succeeding. What they really care about is not failing.
