Devět ohromujících povídek z blízkých realit, v nichž je něco zásadně jinak. Ted Chiang přináší fantastické odpovědi na otázky, které nás zajímají od nepaměti, a do nich vnáší nová dilemata. Kdybychom měli k dispozici bránu v čase, daly by se vymazat naše vlastní skutky z minulosti? Nabídne-li se lidem možnost nahlédnout do nesčetných paralelních světů, jak konkrétně to dokážou využít — anebo zneužít? A jaký by na nás mělo dopad, kdybychom získali praktický důkaz, že svobodná vůle neexistuje? Pokud ve zcela jiných realitách platí stejné fyzikální zákony, můžeme dojít ke shodnému poznání? Co když hledáme ve vesmíru inteligentní život, ale on je tu po celou dobu s námi?

I've not read anything else by Ted Chiang, and after getting this I noticed he also wrote the story that Arrival was based on (which I have seen and enjoyed) so I was looking forward to this.
The stories collected here all share a common humanity, while they are still kind of sci-fi based (and one isn't even written from the point of view of a human).
These stories definately made me think, but especially The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate (I am a sucker for time travel stories, and this one works better than a lot of them because of the way the premise is set up), The Lifecycle of Software Objects (the story notes at the end really shed some light on the author's intent with this one), The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling (a wonderful exploration of memory and how it effects us), and Anxiety …

I will definitely need to check out his other collection and go from there!
