Exhalation by Ted Chiang

challenging dark inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

These short stories are each a profoundly insightful exploration of the human condition. I once read that the best thing about science fiction is that it allows the exploration of what it means to be human in circumstances other than our present. Ted Chiang weaves stories that stirke to the heart of both the peculiar nature of "being" and the near term possibilities of our technological evolution. Each story felt like a lesson in philosophy. 
An absolute masterpiece.
