Stories of you life and others

Collection of short stories : 
- Tower of Babylon: great story about language and recursion 
- Understand: I don't remember 
- Division by zero: a mathematician disproof mathematics 
- Story of your life: adapted into 'Arrival' -- as good as the film 
- Seventy-two Letters: Fantasy around the Golem, and how letters create life and self-reference 
- The evolution of human science: After the technological singularity, how do human understand the science of Super-Infos ( my term ) 
- Hell is the absence of God: ok, about belief in the world where angels appear and you know who goes to hell and heaven 
- 'Liking what you see: a documentary': a short story from different angles about the bias of beauty in human society

Most of the stories were really good, well-written - though without 'artifice', without something special about the style. The fact that language was the theme of few of them and that they were sci-fish was interesting -- I feel like language as such, except for inventing terms, is not in itself such a common theme in sci-fi
