Câștigător Premiul Locus 2020 la categoria: Nuveletă „O colecție de povestiri care te pun pe gânduri, te fac să-ți pui întrebările cele mai grele și să te simți mai uman. Un vârf al genului science fiction.“ Barack Obama Nouă proze cu totul originale, provocatoare și memorabile, de la autorul textului Povestea vieții tale, ecranizat de Denis Villeneuve cu titlul Arrival. Un portal temporal îl obligă pe un vânzător din vechiul Bagdad să se confrunte cu greșelile din trecut. Un om de știință care studiază extratereștrii face o descoperire șocantă, cu ramificații universale. O privire aruncată într-un univers alternativ pune la îndoială liberul arbitru și alegerile noastre. Ted Chiang pune întrebările cele mai vechi din lume: Ce este universul? Ce înseamnă umanitatea? În povestirile lui science fiction răzbat la tot pasul frumusețea, înțelesurile adânci și compasiunea. „La fel ca predecesorii lui atât de diverși – Philip K. Dick, Jorge Luis Borges, Ursula K. Le Guin, Margaret Atwood sau Kazuo Ishiguro –, Chiang explorează temele convenționale ale literaturii SF în moduri cu totul neconvenționale. Proza lui are ceea ce Orwell numea transparență perfectă. Pentru Chiang, curiozitatea umană este motorul divin al progresului.“ Joyce Carol Oates, The New Yorker

Al doilea volum din trilogia SPAȚIUL REVELAȚIEI. Târziu în secolul al XXVI-lea rasa umană a avansat suficient de mult cât să atragă atenția nedorită a Inhibitorilor – mașini de ucis extraterestre făcute să detecteze viața inteligentă și s-o distrugă. Politicienii par să fi abandonat lupta și vor să fugă lăsând de izbeliște triburile umane. Singura speranță a omenirii este să găsească armele apocalipsei acum bine ascunse. Clavain un renegat e decis să le găsească pentru că nu se poate împăca cu decizia lașă și cinică a conducătorilor. Însă nu e singurul în joc sunt și alte facțiuni cu agende diferite. Armele au la rândul lor propria agendă. „O poveste epică despre război politică ideologie și invazie extraterestră. Cu o tehnică narativă inteligentă și personaje bine construite acest roman își va absorbi complet cititorii.“ Booklist „Respicienta nu punea niciodată întrebări despre activitatea ei. Ea știa doar că acționa pentru binele final al vieții înzestrate cu rațiune. Nu era deloc îngrijorată că această criză pentru a cărei evitare acționa criza care avea să devină un dezastru cosmic incontrolabil dacă vieții inteligente i se permitea să se răspândească se afla tocmai la treisprezece Rotații – trei miliarde de ani – în viitor. Asta era lipsit de importanță. Timpul nu însemna absolut nimic pentru Inhibitori.“ "

This curious time-travel novella is a gracefully told lesson about accepting fate-or, as better suits this medieval Arabian setting, the will of Allah. A Baghdad merchant discovers an alchemical device that can send a traveler back in time 20 years. Despite the alchemist's warning that "what is made cannot be unmade," and three illustrative tales about others' attempts to alter the past, the merchant is determined to return to an earlier time to save his long-dead wife

What's the best way to create artificial intelligence? In 1950, Alan Turing wrote, "Many people think that a very abstract activity, like the playing of chess, would be best. It can also be maintained that it is best to provide the machine with the best sense organs that money can buy, and then teach it to understand and speak English. This process could follow the normal teaching of a child. Things would be pointed out and named, etc. Again I do not know what the right answer is, but I think both approaches should be tried." The first approach has been tried many times in both science fiction and reality. In this new novella, at over 30,000 words, his longest work to date, Ted Chiang offers a detailed imagining of how the second approach might work within the contemporary landscape of startup companies, massively-multiplayer online gaming, and open-source software. It's a story of two people and the artificial intelligences they helped create, following them for more than a decade as they deal with the upgrades and obsolescence that are inevitable in the world of software. At the same time, it's an examination of the difference between processing power and intelligence, and of what it means to have a real relationship with an artificial entity.

'Saunders is an astoundingly tuned voice - graceful, dark, authentic and funny - telling just the kind of stories we need to get us through these times' Thomas Pynchon In PASTORALIA elements of contemporary life are twisted, merged and amplified into a slightly skewed version of modern America. A couple live and work in a caveman theme-park, where speaking is an instantly punishable offence. A born loser attends a self-help seminar where he is encouraged to rid himself of all the people who are 'crapping in your oatmeal'. And a male exotic dancer and his family are terrorised by their decomposing aunt who visits them with a solemn message from beyond the grave. With an uncanny combination of deadpan naturalism and uproarious humour, George Saunders creates a world that is both indelibly original and yet hauntingly familiar ...
