| May 15 at 22:23 | comment | added | Andrew | by PZ, he means "Probability Zero" - a series of short-shorts in Analog isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?9857; if he's right, that narrows it down. | |
| May 15 at 22:22 | comment | added | Andrew | This thread groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.sf.written/c/dwVu_dJSFFQ/m/… has a guy who remembers the story: I recall one where various crimes were made punishable by transportation to the new lunar colonies. And there was a rash of crimes by various people you'd never expect to commit crimes, such as fresh new engineers, young doctors, etc. One of these guys was the central point of the story, as he was inconsolable in his prison cell. See, he'd picked the minimum crime that was punishable by transportation, but had bungled it and wound up killing a bystander. | |
