Reviews
"Ted Chiang's stories are lean, relentless, and incandescent." --Colson Whitehead, author of The Underground Railroad "Ted Chiang writes with such a matter-of-fact grace and visionary power that one simply takes on faith that his worlds and his characters exist, whether they are human or robot or parrot; he is the rare author who makes me feel, also, that he believes in his readers, in our integrity and our imagination." --Karen Russell, author of Orange World "Ted Chiang has no contemporary peers when it comes to the short story form. His name deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Carver, Poe, Borges, and Kafka. Every story is a universe. Every story is a diamond. You will inhale Exhalation in a single, stunned sitting, because true genius doesn't come along nearly as often as advertised. This is the real thing." --Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter "An instant classic. . . . Visionary speculative stories that will change the way readers see themselves and the world around them: This book delivers in a big way." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Chiang is always thought provoking, and his latest collection is no exception." --Library Journal (starred review) "Chiang is a master. . . . The Alice Munro of science fiction." --LitHub "Ted Chiang is one of the best science fiction writers in the field today." --The Verge "[Chiang] is so good that this book qualifies as an event." -- Newsday "Chiang produces deeply moving drama from fascinating first premises. . . . These stories are brilliant experiments, and his commitment to exploring deep human questions elevates them to among the very best science fiction." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "From Ted Chiang's singular mind comes another innovative and mind-bending collection of short stories. With boundless empathy, curiosity, and wisdom, Chiang asks all the important questions that come with being human. Reading Exhalation is like standing outside on a clear, starry night. Chiang's writing does what good writing should: make the universe feel both vast and small at the same time." --Rachel Khong, author of Goodbye, Vitamin "Ted Chiang brings to science fiction both the refined human insight of the best contemporary literature and the shapeliness and resonance of myth. Stories of Your Life and Others has proven to be one of the finest collections of the last twenty years, and Exhalation , if anything, outdistances it. Surely the grace, lucidity, intensity, heart, and intelligence of these stories will allow them to endure." --Kevin Brockmeier, author of The View From the Seventh Layer "There's so much excellence in the labyrinth of ideas in Exhalation --machines that question free will, AIs that challenge love, software that shapes memory--what truly astounds is the tenderness that pulses through each story like a heartbeat. When I read Ted Chiang, I am reminded not only of what might be, but what is: our own humanity, realized again and again through wonder, language, and empathy. He is not only at the top of his genre, but a true storyteller, and one of our most skilled and fascinating. I am so excited to live in a world where Ted Chiang is writing." --Aja Gabel, author of The Ensemble, "Chiang is a master. . . .

    Mandatory reading by Ted Chiang

    Ted Chiang is an extremely insightful writer. He presents and blends intellect and emotion to create depth and understanding in a vivid way. Great clarity in the writing. The best since Asimov.
