«Exhalación» is the science fiction short story collection by Ted Chiang, published by Sexto Piso in paperback (348 pages, in Spanish).
A toy that calls free will into question, contact with oneself in other timelines, virtual pets with artificial intelligence, and reviewing one's own life without the bias of memory are starting points. Ted Chiang explores the human condition and the ethical dilemmas of technology, with a philosophical and far from dystopian gaze.
Translation by Rubén Martín Giráldez. It is Ted Chiang's second collection of stories and won the 2020 Locus Award.
For readers of speculative fiction seeking plots with philosophical depth and ethical dilemmas.
