. . 感覚が刺激を受け知覚と想像力が拡張される… . まるで上質なコンセプチュアル・アートに接したときのような昂ぶりが抑えきれない . この無二の言語(読書)体験がテッド・チャンによって届けられ…没入中 . . 過去・現在・未来へとつながる時制を異言語を媒介に俯瞰的に可視化させ、そこに主人公の過去と“未来”の記憶や意識を入れ子のように組み入れた映画「メッセージ」の原作『あなたの人生の物語』 . そこから17年を経て完成したこの作品集には、タイムトラベル、AIの未来、量子論、自由意志、創造説など、科学・思想・哲学・文学の最新の知見を取り入れた9篇が収録されていて珠玉 . とりわけ、映画『スライディングドア』や『2つの人生が教えてくれること』、著作なら高崎将平の『そうしないことはありえたか』などとも通底するテーマ(一種のパラレルワールド)を持つ「不安は自由のめまい」があまりにも出来が良く感嘆 . 音声(Kindle版)でも聴きたい気分 . . #息吹 #テッドチャン #EXHALATION #TedChiang #不安は自由のめまい #AnxietyIstheDizzinessofFreedom #大森望訳 #メッセージ #あなたの人生の物語 #浅倉久志訳 #早川書房 #Kindle #LeicaC #ライカc #LeicaCtyp112 #digitalcamera #コンパクトデジタルカメラ . . https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2z_9LvD_L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What began as a research paper on the downsides of digital memory, “The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling” ended with the realization that people are made of stories. “Our memories are not the impartial accumulation of every second we’ve lived; they’re the narrative we’ve assembled out of selected moments.” We remember details that we consider important to *us* - so the stories we build from those details are what shape our personalities. #TedChiang #Exhalation #TheTruthOfFactTheTruthOfFeeling #ShortStory #CurrentlyReading #SciFi #AmReading #Bookworm #ScienceFiction #Fiction #SpeculativeFiction https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgl77ELOGHU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Picked up my copy of Ted Chiang's EXHALATION collection and read the next story, "The Lifestyle of Software Objects" - well, it's more of a novella than it is a short story, lol. I'm conflicted. I enjoyed the story, loved the progression...except the way it ended left me a bit unsatisfied. This is the story of Ana, who is recruited to work for a software company to help train digients the company created. Digients are cute animals you can log into the Date Earth server with your avatar to play with, teach to read or play games and even go on play dates with other avatars and digients. As is the way with tech, it does fall off in popularity until only a small group is left still active with their digients and of course there are other companies who create their own brands of digients to contend with. I loved seeing the company get started, how the digients were received by the public, the craze of everyone wanting them - even when the decline began, but just felt the ending was a little bit wanting.

The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang 4 stars #4 of 2022 . An interesting novella, which attempts to draw parallels between raising a child and developing a true artificial intelligence. The story has some bold and brilliant ideas, exploring the human relationships as much as those with the infant AI. While the idea of the sexual nature of these AI initially felt strange and forced, as this became more and more prominent it allowed for some bigger questions to be raised. An interesting story, but I’m glad it finished when it did. . #thelifecycleofsoftwareobjects #tedchiang #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2022 #booksivedrawnin2022 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CaO8IJ7rDPd/?utm_medium=tumblr

La tour de Babylone, Ted Chiang, @editionsfolio #sf J'ai un avis assez partagé après avoir lu l'intégralité des nouvelles de ce recueil de Ted Chiang qui est précédé d'une très bonne réputation. L'auteur se fait rare mais rafle des prix régulièrement. Pour ma part j'ai apprécié certaines histoires et j'en ai déjà complètement oublié certaines autres. Le style de l'auteur s'apprivoise facilement et certains textes comme Soixante-douze lettres pourraient faire penser à des classiques du XIXème siècle. En revanche d'autres mon davantage fait penser à des rapports scientifiques ou bien des revues de presse, trop mécaniques pour m'emporter malgré les idées et les réflexions qu'ils contiennent. #tedchiang #folios #nouvelles #sfff #lectureterminée #passionlecture #avislecture #bookstagramfrance #instabook #serialreader (à Babylon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVe_LlWMM2m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Of course I (Robin) could not leave the #sfbokhandeln empty handed last week, so I decided to pick up this book of short stories by Ted Chiang. I have not read any of his work so far, but I have heard good things about it so I’m excited to read this one soon!
