Exhalation by Ted Chiang

challenging informative reflective

5.0

This is an excellent, outstanding and highly original collection of short stories.

Ted Chiang observes our society as it is today and combines those observations with clever tie-ins of speculative and science fiction. And he is immensely talented at that. I also enjoyed his author's notes to each of the stories.

Every story in this book will give you a lot of food for thought. If you like this kind of story, I highly recommend you read Exhalation.

PS: The Great Silence: How to break my heart in 10 minutes or less.

Notes on the audiobook: I listened to this on audible audio and it was a good production. Chiang reads the author's notes himself.
