A review by lorenzadlung
Exhalation by Ted Chiang

5.0

What would happen if there was a gate for time travel? You'd travel years into the past or into the future, but you couldn't change a thing... What if we were all robots exploring how our minds work but realising that our time on earth is finite? What if there's no free will? What if we'd converse with ourselves in parallel universes? These are just a few questions that Ted Chiang entangles in his brilliant science-fiction short stories that make up a compelling read. Highly recommended!
