Maybe that is what I read. When the move came out I wanted to see it. Why ? Because I read the book and thought it was great. I did searches and discovered Arrival was written in 1998 and was a short story. That was a big surprise because I could have sworn I read that story in the 80s. From what I remember the movie pretty much followed the story I read almost exactly.
