Synopsis

Nebula-winning and Hugo-nominated Novella

Simplicity ain't what it used to be.

The tiny planet of Morobe's Pea has been sold, and the new owner has a few ideas. He has renamed it Walden, and voluntary simplicity is now the rule. It will become a rural paradise for everyone who embraces Thoreau's philosophy. But the previous tenants have their own ideas. And they are willing to set themselves on fire to defend them...

This story has been anthologized in The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Third Annual Collection (2006) and Nebula Awards Showcase 2008, and collected in The Wreck of the Godspeed and Other Stories.
