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 ‘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. In Exhalation, Ted Chiang addresses the most fundamental of issues – What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human? – alongside others that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful.\u003cbr\u003e9781035038596\/9781529014495\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Picador Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53805464158550,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9788603327229_1.jpg?v=1781813320","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/chiang-ted-ted-chiang-2-books-collection-set-stories-of-your-life-and-others-exhalation-9788603327229","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
