I read this novella as part of the Hugo voting packet and after reading this and her short story that was also in the packet I will have to keep an eye out for more of her stuff.
The story setting is in the far future that has a heavy Asian influence on the multi system government and social order. Linh comes seeking refuge at Prosper Station calling on family ties but not being truthful about why she is there. Prosper station is on a slow downward slide with the AI faltering and the best and the brightest gone to fight the war. Everything comes to light when the descendant of the station designer stops by the station. After reading this I want to see more of the universe. The idea of ancestor worship using technology to allow descendants to speak to those long gone for advice is very neat.
