Description
Nine stunning stories from near realities where something is fundamentally different. Ted Chiang offers fantastic answers to questions that have intrigued us since time immemorial, introducing new dilemmas into them.
If we had access to a time portal, could we erase our own deeds from the past? If people are given the chance to glimpse countless parallel worlds, how specifically will they be able to use—or misuse—that opportunity? And what impact would it have on us if we gained practical proof that free will does not exist? If the same physical laws apply in entirely different realities, can we arrive at the same understanding? What if we are searching for intelligent life in the universe, but it has been here with us all along?
