Overview
A New York Times BestsellerIn these nine provocative and poignant stories, Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity's oldest questions along with new quandaries. 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. Including stories being published for the first time as well as some of his rare and classic uncollected work.In these nine provocative and poignant stories, Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity's oldest questions along with new quandaries.
