Exhale

The audiobook Breath contains nine science fiction short stories by Ted Chiang

Nine stunning tales from near realities in which something is fundamentally different. Ted Chiang brings fantastic answers to questions that have intrigued us since time immemorial and introduces new dilemmas.

If we had a portal in time, could our own past deeds be erased? If people are offered a glimpse into myriad parallel worlds, how exactly can they take advantage of it - or abuse it? And what would be the impact on us if we got practical proof that free will does not exist? If the same physical laws apply in completely different realities, can we arrive at the same knowledge? What if we're looking for intelligent life in the universe, but it's here with us all the time?
