A review by theishu
Exhalation by Ted Chiang

4.0

The author’s notes at the end enriched my experience and perception of each story. So hang on till the end. Ted Chiang himself took inspiration from the works of the Philip K. Dick, the physicist Kip Thorne, and several other scholars. So his stories are rooted in possibility and yet reach quite far into the imagination.

Noteworthy stories in this collection:

The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate
Exhalation
The Lifecycle of Software Objects
Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom
