psocopteraHatching, Bo Balder, Clarkesworld. Humans and AIs and relationships.
Company Town, Aimee Ogden, Clarkesworld. Labor relations, and bonus portal fantasy. I really liked this one.
The Odyssey Problem, Chris Willrich, Clarkesworld. What if the Federation rescued the kid from Omelas, and then it just keeps going from there.
We Built This City, Marie Vibbert, Clarkesworld. Labor relations on a floating Venusian cloud city. Nebula nominee. NOVELETTE.
Carapace, David Goodman, Clarkesworld. MilSF about a suit trying to carry out its pilot's mission. NOVELETTE.
The Sadness Box, Suzanne Palmer, Clarkesworld. A difficult parent, and a particularly bleak war. NOVELETTE.
The Pirate's Consigliere, Bo Balder, Clarkesworld. What if the Federation encountered the Reavers, more or less.
Polly and (Not) Charles Conquer the Solar System, Carrie Vaughn, Clarkesworld. Vaughn is good at stories that feel like a piece of something longer, and she really leans into it here, opening with "This is Chapter Thirty or so in a whole ongoing saga that I don’t have time to get into right now." Might appeal to people who like the Miles & Ivan dynamic in the Vorkosigan books. NOVELLA.
