The Martian Obelisk by Linda NagataMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This story was well and clearly told, and I found it easy to sympathize with the protagonists. Maybe a little too easy. It sounds very much like Nagata follows the same news I do, and took everything I (we) are afraid of, and convinced is going to happen, and put it in as the backdrop for a short story. Very compelling, and depressing. Others have said it is a bit derivative, but really, what story isn't? I liked it the best of all the Hugo short story entries this year, and hope it wins.
