Free Hugo-nominated space opera stories from Greg Egan and Ken Macleod

Editors Jonathan Strahan and Gardner Dozois have just posted the full text of two of the best stories from their original anthology The New Space Opera, from superstars Ken Macleod and Greg Egan. Both of these stories have been nominated for this year's Hugo award, and deservedly so. Space opera is a venerable sub-genre in science fiction with a lot of juice still left in it, as is evidenced by these masterful pieces. I was so impressed with this volume that I've agreed to write a story for the next one, my first crack at space opera proper.
