The link labeled “Mono No Aware” actually goes to a different Ken Liu story.
Thanks, OM. This one is not online as far as I can tell, so link removed.
However, the other Ken Liu story (“The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species”) is online at http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/the-bookmaking-habits-of-select-species/ .
P.S. The Doctorow & Stross novel “The Rapture of the Nerds” is online (under a Creative Commons license) in multiple formats at http://craphound.com/rotn/download/ .
I think the link you removed is the link missing in ““The Bookmaking Habits of Select Species””. It was misplaced.
Updated!
Thanks for all these links. A quick clip to Kindle, and I’m set!
