In the Stacks (Maisie's Tune) by Robin Sloan is both a synthesizer with knobs you can fiddle with and a short story you can read.

I wasn't expecting to be sniffling this early in the morning, but that was absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the post. That was well-written with the added bonus of an actual synthesizer to play with afterwards. Sniffles indeed…

Y'all Robin Sloan is worth keeping an eye on. Subscribe to his newsletter, check out his recommendations. Read his books. I bet he's lurking around here somewhere. Metafilter is up his alley.
