TED CHIANG was born in Port Jefferson, New York, and holds a degree in computer science. His fiction has won numerous awards. His first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, has been translated into ten languages. He lives near Seattle, Washington.
From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. 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 brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, 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.

評分 評分0 我阅读《呼吸》时伴随阅读了《博尔赫斯谈话录(Borges at Eighties: Conversations)》以及博尔赫斯暮年的最后几篇短篇小说。并行的阅读让我无法忽视掉两个作者的近似之处。 1 我感受到了大量相似之处,但这并不足以说明特德姜一定是从博尔赫斯这里吸取的养分。他们具有“高...
no。故事也許OK,文筆一般。
评分Ted Chiang的書還是一如既往地富有哲理。似乎還是在看故事呢, 突然之間的一句話的總結或者一個段落的總結就讓我感到豁然開朗,醍醐灌頂。尤其是書後麵的Story Notes交代瞭故事的背景,更加讓我對作者産生敬佩之心,因為小事件的發生和平時的悉心觀察就是一個故事的素材。最喜歡最後一篇,淋灕盡緻。
评分新加的兩篇一般
评分新加兩篇忒好,一篇喜概念,一篇喜道德
