📚 “The Lifecycle of Software Objects” by Ted Chiang
For our final read-aloud in the Exhalation collection, we’ll dive into Chiang’s longest and most ambitious story—an emotional and philosophical look at artificial intelligence, digital relationships, and what it means to grow and care for non-human entities.

📌 Discussion Format
Because this story is novella-length, we’re continuing with our updated format:

• Please read the story in advance
• Pick a passage that resonated with you
• We’ll take turns reading our chosen excerpts aloud and sharing reflections

📖 Get your copy:

• Kyobo Bookstore
• Amazon
• Or check your local library!

❗️Kind reminder: If your plans change, please update your RSVP so we can plan the space and seating accordingly!

Join us as we wrap up this brilliant collection with one last deep, meaningful conversation.

See you SATURDAY, June 14, 11 am @ Piknic Café
