The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

He said cultural appropriation off rip this is my kind of book. Also love the little author’s note at the end. He’s such a dork lol.

What is expected of us: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The interesting thing about this one is that it stems from other stories in which a joke is so funny it kills people. There are other examples in literature where a movie is so good it kills you or a woman is literally drop dead gorgeous, but the idea of people shutting down because they don’t think free will exists seems… kind of silly no?

Exhalation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Couldn’t give you any insight on the article this story is based on. Also not really sure how well Ted Chiang gets his point across in the story. Another pretty interesting thought experiment though.
