It's Nebula season again, and this year all the available novellas are published in book form, so I'll get to those later. First up, the novelettes.
Sarah Pinsker has an entry on the short side entitled Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea. It is standard post-apocalyptic stuff--we have two protagonists, a rock star and a scavenger. The rock star gets sick of life on the cruise ships that took to the ocean when everything went to pot on land. She takes a lifeboat and drifts away, washing up on the scavenger's shore. The rock star is mildly famous--the scavenger knows who she is--but is not wealthy enough to be a passenger on the ships.
They are each working through the consequences of the end of civilization. It's OK as a story, I liked it fine, but there's not a lot there. I guess 3 stars.
