Exhalation by Ted Chiang Book Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • Nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories—two published for the very first time—all from the mind of the incomparable author of Stories of Your Life and Others

Tackling some of humanity’s oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine, these stories will change the way you think, feel, and see the world. They are Ted Chiang at his best: profound, sympathetic, revelatory.

Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity’s oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine.

In “The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate,” a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and second chances. In “Exhalation,” an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications that are literally universal. In “Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom,” the ability to glimpse into alternate universes necessitates a radically new examination of the concepts of choice and free will.

Visionary. I found these stories unique and visionary.

Great stories. I love these stories and can’t wait to read more

Wow!. Just wow.

Amazing Stories. All somehow following certain themes but definitely bring up very specific philosophical questions that kept my group talking for hours for every section. My favorite and personally the best kind of sci-fi takes.

A Smorgasbord of Great Stories. Each of the stories in Ted Chiang’s newest collection “Exhalation” is an answer to that classic science fictional question “What If?”... The first is almost a Arabian Nights flavored fantasy tale about time travel, but the rest are more like traditional science fiction. Each was previously published in diverse places. Like many collections, some will be more interesting to a particular reader than others. However, I think it is a testament to Mr. Chiang’s skill as a writer that all of these stories were really well crafted, and made me think about the story for a while after finishing each one. There are stories about the growing pains of software-based AI that live in a virtual world, and about pneumatic powered life forms who discover that entropy will increase. There is even a story about what the universe would actually look like if young-earth creationism was real. The author provides a nice afterward that tells the history of the stories, and of his thought process in writing them. Definitely a collection worth reading!

Excellent book. I normally don't like se hort stories but loved these.. I'm a Spanish speaker who fell un love with SF while a teenager, watching 'Viaje a las Estrellas (Star Treck). I couldn't find quality SF in Spanish, so being bilingual started reading Asimov's I Robot series as well as 'Foundation'and Anne McCaffrey's dragons books. What I loved was the 'what if' question in Asimov's books as well as McCaffrey's problems with 'thread'. This book Is all about 'what if'. I'll be reading some more by this author.

Great Book. Well worth the time and money, to be crass. But I don’t give 5 stars lightly.

Beautiful. Most of these stories are beautiful craftsmanship. I rarely take the time to review a book let alone write something about it. But this one deserves recognition.

Hard. The awards are well deserved for the brilliant writing style yet the stories themselves left me so claustrophobic. I just wanted to go outside and sit under a tree and feel human. Hard stories to read without any positive feelings.

Excellent Stories. What a great collection of stories. Each one comes with the right blend of science what-ifs and philosophical musings. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout.

Was entertaining read.. I enjoyed his collection of short stories. He tackled a number of interesting concepts.

Homely science fiction. Somewhere between an advice column, a book of jokes, and a gentler PKD. I was delighted to find a novel that hugs the everyday humanity of its characters as we observe them deal with the burden that Chiang has woven into their world. The author has eschewed pew pew gadget obsession that is the hallmark of other works and other writers, but the sense of wonder is just as strong. Please enjoy
