Exhalation

“my boss made me read this when I was 22 for no reason- weird sci-fi collection that makes you think about time, memory & humanity! cool tho”

“Ted Chiang’s Exhalation is a fascinating collection of science fiction stories that explores big questions about consciousness, free will, technology, and what it means to be human. What I loved most is that the stories don’t rely on futuristic spectacle—they use simple, thought-provoking ideas to make you question how you see the world. Each story feels like a little philosophical puzzle, and some stay with you long after you finish reading. A great read if you enjoy science fiction that makes you think.”

“A beautiful set of short stories with magical, scifi, philosophical themes. I keep recommending this book to anyone and everyone.”

“Beautifully written and highly intelligent short stories, reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges. Both of Chiang’s collections are outstanding. I rarely reread anything, but I’ve read all of his stories at least twice.”

“Loved reading this and his debut collection Stories of Your Life and Others”
