Hello, and welcome to the SF/F Book Study. We're trying something different this month and discussing three short stories, each of which receive a nomination for the Hugo Award in 2009 or 2011, and two received Nebula nominations as well.
All three are available online:
Non-Zero Probabilities by N. K. Jemisin via Clarkesworld.
(Audio version here.)
Bridesicle by W. McIntosh via Asimov's (PDF warning)
(Intro and audio version here.)
Exhalation by T. Chiang via Eclipse Two
(PDF and other stories found via this link.)
***Spoilers*** will be streaking naked through this thread (for all three stories!) unpredictably. You have been warned.
