It's a pretty obvious topic, but nevertheless I figured out how to include/dissect the differences (or lack of differences) between predestination and determinism. I'm using "Story of Your Life", "Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate", and "What's Expected of Us". I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate other stories such as "Hell is the Absence of God", but I'm also trying to avoid a total theology view. Thoughts?
I think most of the Ted Chiang stories will fit in one of those categories, and including all four of the stories you mentioned would be good because that way you would have two for each category.
