Knopf, $c 2019. 300 $a 350 pages ; $c 22 cm 520 $a 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. 505 00 $t Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. $t Exhalation -- $t What's expected of us -- $t The lifecycle of software objects -- $t Dacey's patent automatic nanny -- $t The truth of fact, the truth of feeling -- $t The great silence -- $t Omphalos -- $t Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. 650 0 $a Short stories, American. 650 6 $a Nouvelles ameÌricaines. 650 7 $a FICTION / Short Stories (single author). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Science Fiction / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Short stories, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117064 650 7 $a Science-Fiction $2 gnd 650 7 $a Scientists $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Artificial intelligence $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Human behavior $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Science fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Short stories. $2 sears 655 0 $a Science fiction, American. 655 0 $a Short stories, American. 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat 655 7 $a Short stories, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01750175 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nouvelles. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 sears $5 NjBwBT 740 42 $a The Merchant and the alchemist's gate 740 02 $a Exhalation 740 02 $a What's expected of us 740 42 $a The lifecycle of software objects 740 02 $a Dacey's patent automatic nanny 740 42 $a The truth of fact, the truth of feeling 740 42 $a The great silence 740 02 $a Omphalos 740 02 $a Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom 776 08 $i Online version: $a Chiang, Ted. $t Exhalation. $b First edition. $d New York : Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, [2019] $z 9781101947906 $w (OCoLC)1043052652 $w (OCoLC)1043052652 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230731080008.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EFDAC6B62F9D11EE882E4CA0213FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
