I really liked Marissa Lingen's latest, but I hadn't read the interview until now--it was great. Yeah, I thought, in addition to being an entertaining story, it was a great parable for how people think they can just extract from the environment without consequences when of course that's not true (or not true ultimately). In the story it's because the station is such a closed environment and the idiot salesman is used to planets--but of course our planet is a closed system too.
I've read and enjoyed "Better Living Through Algorithms"; will have to test the waters of the darker story.
