À propos de cet audio

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR Nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories—two published for the very first time—all from the mind of the incomparable author of Stories of Your Life and Others

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.

I really enjoyed listening to this collection of Ted Chiang stories. I have long appreciated Chiang's approach to storytelling, which is both emotionally sensitive and scientifically rigorous.

Some of these stories I have read before, but the appreciated them anew because of the strength of the performances here.

My only complaint about this particular audiobook is that the final story is mislabeled in the Audible player.

Delightful collection of thought-provoking stories

This book has been my entry into reading fiction and it was a delightful experience all the way through. My favourite title was The story of the Merchants, and my least favourite was the Life Cycle of Software Objects, felt too long and there was no real pay off in the end. Besides that, it’s an amazing collection of a great writers oeuvre, with very characteristic interconnected concepts weaving these disparate stories together. Highly Recommend!

The Merchant and the Alchemists gate is an amazing piece

I found a couple of the stories ran on a bit too long (especially the one about Digians) but there were some fantastic pieces in there as well, and even the overly long stories had interesting premises. Most of the narrators were similarly excellent.

Some fantastic ideas. Some stories could be shorter

I liked the change of pace in reading these short stories. my favorite was the doorway to go back or forward in time.

Very unique stories

Ted Chiang is a fantastic writer. Each short story in this compendium is accompanied by a note from the author explaining how he was thinking when he wrote the story. The guy is brilliant. Love how he thinks.
Readers are great. Only a couple of annoying accents while reading. Well worth a listen. 9 stars out of 10.

Wow. Great Science Fiction
