Ted Chiang, you bastard, how are you so good at this? It’s not fair.

I am in awe.

Just finished Exhalation by
Ted Chiang.

I know many people love this book, but I have rather mixed feelings about it.

The stories explore many interesting ideas and the prose is rich, but most of them made me feel like I was reading philosophical treatises or essays rather than stories. They just didn't work as stories for me.

Enjoyed #Exhalation by #TedChiang #ScienceFiction

#Aerosols in indoor air can vary in #acidity & the #acidity determines how long viruses remain infectious in the air. New research study from ETH Zurich, EPFL and University of Zurich shows how the pH of #aerosol particles changes in the seconds and hours after #exhalation under different #environmental #conditions. It also shows how this affects the #viruses contained in the #particles. The study appears in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. #Flu #Covid https://www.futurity.org/aerosols-acidity-viruses-2848802-2/

#exhalation is the #end of #inhalation. End of the year, end of a few disrespectful relationships, end of old rules, end of suffering, end of addiction, end of some people, end of the old version of me. evolution. rebirth. silence. appeasement. grace. fate. Alone at home at Christmas. is this really happening to me? real freedom came in this form and I accept my reality as I created it for myself. Thanks to everyone who supports me sincerely.
