I was disappointed that this turned out to be so short - novella - as I enjoyed it a lot. Imagine a world where nanites have made us all rich, but at the cost of taking away all the difficulties of life that keep us interested. Some have rebelled against this, and in the midst of all that, there has been a murder, and a young woman must figure out why she did it. (no, thats not a typo!) If Sanderson and Kowal collaborate again, I will be reading it!
