      The producers got to the book too!?

      No okay did not know that. So maybe my problem is with the general need to put love stories into stories. Or maybe it was written better in the book? Might have to read the book now

        I’m not sure how to spoiler tag so I’ll be vague, but I think it was necessary to have her opt into that romance even though she knew there was a tragic ending to it.

        Oh and the short story is very good, as is Ted Chiang’s entire collection. I would definitely recommend reading them to any scifi fan.
