Short Story

Exhalation

Ted Chiang

200826 pages

In a world powered by precise, mechanical processes, a curious being undertakes a personal investigation to understand the workings of its mind. Through meticulous experimentation, it uncovers a deeper truth about its existence—one that reflects both the fragility and wonder of consciousness. The story is a contemplative meditation on entropy, time, and the nature of self-awareness.
