ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:THE WASHINGTON POST - TIME MAGAZINE - NPR - ESQUIRE - VOX - THE A.V. CLUB - THE GUARDIAN - FINANCIAL TIMES - THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS "Exhalation by Ted Chiang is a collection of short stories that will make you think, grapple with big questions, and feel more human. The best kind of science fiction." --Barack Obama, via Facebook "THE UNIVERSE BEGAN AS AN ENORMOUS BREATH BEING HELD."
In these nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories, Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity's oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and second chances. In "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications that are literally universal. In "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom," the ability to glimpse into alternate universes necessitates a radically new examination of the concepts of choice and free will. Including stories being published for the first time as well as some of his rare and classic uncollected work, Exhalation is Ted Chiang at his best: profound, sympathetic--revelatory.

Sturdy, Easy to Use, and Great for Privacy
Color: Black, Size: 88" W, Color: Black, Size: 88" W
This room divider is exactly what I needed! The metal frame feels very sturdy and stable, and the wider bases keep it from tipping over easily. The fabric provides great privacy and blocks light much better than expected. I also love how lightweight and foldable it is, making it easy to move around or store when not in use. Assembly was simple and only took a short time with the included instructions. Overall, it looks great, feels high quality, and works perfectly for creating a private space at home. Highly recommend!

Not bad
Color: Grey, Size: 88" W
Claims to be non see through but you can, easy to assemble but instructions aren't good. Decent money value, quality is okay. Good fit, not very sturdy.

They bend easily and hard to keep up
Color: Black, Size: 88" W
To flimsy, they are see through, not at all what is pictured

Lighter Than Expected — Perfect for My Garage Workspace!
I just received this room divider and haven’t had a chance to set it up yet, but I’m already impressed. It’s much lighter than I expected — I was worried it would be bulky and unstable, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. It feels easy to handle and still solid enough for what I need. I plan to use it in my garage to section off a small workspace, and it looks like it’s going to work perfectly!
