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.

Ted Chiang's fiction has been nominated for four Hugo Awards, four Nebula Awards, and four Locus Awards, as well as being included in The Best American Short Stories anthology. Tales of Your Life and Others, his debut collection, has been translated into twenty-one languages. He was born in Port Jefferson, New York, and now resides in the Seattle area.
