Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Rigorous. No kidding. I really loved listening to that.

Ted Chiang is a brilliant writer, no two ways about it – but I’m not much of a fan of story readings.

Where did/will the print version appear?

DANTURNER & TEAPOT7:

This is in Jonathan Strahan’s anthology ECLIPSE 2. It’s a great book, well worth the purchase.

“Exhalation” isn’t a story, exactly, but it’s a beautiful tear-jerker of a thought experiment. BoingBoingers in particular owe it to themselves to have a look or listen. “Hard SF” is a meaningless phrase these days, but this is thoughtful, rigorous SCIENCE fiction.

Oooh oooh new-to-me Ted Chiang! Anyone know where I can read this myself, as opposed to having it read to me? I googled but no joy so far.
