3) "The Voluntary State" by Christopher Rowe (FictionWise) Soma-With-The-Paintbox-In-Printer's-Alley and Jenny-With-Grease-Beneath-Her-Fingernails are citizens of the Voluntary State of Tennessee, their lives enhanced by biotech and nanotech under the apparently benevolent dictatorship of the Governor. They get caught up in a fiendish Kentuckian plan to overthrow the regime. Fast-paced and beautifully described, and in fact the only one on this list that I personally nominated, but on re-reading I felt it had some hidden shallows. Shortlisted for the Nebula. Included in the Dozois and the Haber/Strahan Best of the Year anthologies.
