Aliens arrive on Earth. Communication is impossible. Until a linguist learns their language and realizes it doesn’t just express thought, it reshapes it.
Dr. Louise Banks never wanted to be the face of first contact. But when she’s asked to interpret an alien tongue, she begins to experience time in ways she never imagined.
The deeper she dives into their language, the more her own future unfolds before her eyes. With every new word, she sees the love she’ll find, the loss she’ll endure, and the impossible choice she must face.
Arrival collects eight extraordinary stories where science collides with humanity, and wonder sits right beside sorrow.
What if understanding the future doesn’t change it, but makes living it even harder?
