Ted Chiang
Tackling some of humanity’s oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine, these stories will change the way you think, feel, and see the world. They are Ted Chiang at his best: profound, sympathetic, revelatory.
Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity’s oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine.
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 second chances. In “Exhalation,” an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications that are literally universal. In “Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom,” the ability to glimpse into alternate universes necessitates a radically new examination of the concepts of choice and free will.

Editor's Pick
From the Author who brought us Arrival
"Ted Chiang’s stories are incomparable. They are mathematical and uniquely scientific, but not hard to understand, and they never fail to deliver on an emotional level. His most famous work—Stories of Your Life and Others (which contains the story that was the basis for the movie Arrival)—made me cry when I first heard it. That's something I can’t say for the movie, even though Denis Villeneuve is my favorite director of all time. In my mind, Chiang is a modern day Italo Calvino: an empath who can simultaneously tap into the perspectives of totally alien or inanimate entities, and deliver absolutely mind-blowing and borderline-mystical plots and concepts. His reputation and writing certainly deserve a top-notch cast of narrators, and Exhalation uses them to full effect. Offering an experience that feels as ancient as it does futuristic—as if life was one big circle."

Great stories but not narration

It turns out, now that I’ve finished it; that I’ve read 7 of these stories already. I’ve read everything he’s published, so to me these were review. I was hoping for more original stories but it’s always nice to hear the classics. Especially the alchemist gate, software objects and the one about writing.
Anyway if you’re already a fan, it’s a good review and 2 new stories, if you’re not a fan, come and have your mind blown. I envy you the experience of hearing these for the first time.
Minus one star on performance because the intonations of the female reader feel off, or repetitive. Maybe it won’t bother you
9 stories, 2 are new. All are great

In fact, all the voice actors were excellent. If that was a concern for you at first, then I hope to persuade you to purchase the book anyway and see for yourself because there’s some real goodies in this collection.
All narrators were excellent
