Au Naturel
My story "Falling" is out in Nature, and it looks like it's accessible throughout this world wide web thingie -- let me know if not:
There's a lot of good fiction in that whole series, actually... it hasn't been paid much attention to in the SF world, but there have been stories by Ted Chiang, Ursula K. Le Guin... a whole bunch of people. Unfortunately, if you want to read them on the web for free, you only have a brief window before they go behind the "institutional access members only" firewall. A strange and evocative piece by Nalo Hopkinson and a groaner by Stross et al. are still available to the hoi polloi. (If you're logging in from a university, you might try browsing the archives, though -- from NSF I could reach everything.)
