具體描述
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.

讀後感
总结来说，我不太喜欢《呼吸》这本书，故事很碎，看得很累。一本书由很多小篇构成，而且每篇都不能称为一个完整独立的故事。有的觉得意犹未尽，有的觉得不明所以，有的真实得像一篇科普。一句话总结，就是不对味。 那为何会选择这本书呢？因为一是豆瓣2019年评分第一名，二是《...
評分人类替数码体做决定，确实就像父母给孩子规划人生，经验固然可以预测未来，但是在多大程度上，经验的有效性可以大过对自由意志的尊重和呵护？18岁只是写在纸上的一个数字。 另外，科幻的基石逻辑大抵是科技的发展或者架空。本篇二者兼有，借由科幻的外壳讨论的当然还是哲学的问...

非常喜歡第一個故事。但其他的實在看不下去。我還是更喜歡宏大敘事類的科幻題材
