And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.Science fiction fans are already familiar with author Ted Chiang, and now the writer of Stories of Your Life and Others (which was the source material for 2016's Arrival starring Amy Adams) is back with a new collection called Exhalation: Stories. Also included are two brand-new stories: “Omphalos” and “Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom.” In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth-What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?-and ones that no one else has even imagined. And in “The Lifecycle of Software Objects,” a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. In the epistolary “Exhalation,” an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. In “The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate,” a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances.
