Krátky popis
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the acclaimed author of Stories
of Your Life and Others - the basis for the Academy Award nominated
film Arrival - comes a groundbreaking second collection of short
fiction: nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant
stories. 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. In the
epistolary 'Exhalation', an alien scientist makes a shocking
discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for
all of reality.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. Also
included are two previously unpublished stories: 'Omphalos' and
'Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom'. In Exhalation, 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, each in its own way, the stories prove
that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights
of beauty, meaning, and compassion.
