What people on Hacker News said
Best short story: "The Egg" (by Andy Weir); just read it, is very short, no spoilers.
Not a fan of his other works but his short story The Egg (not sci-fi) is up there with Asimov's best shorts
The Egg is a (very) short story that I've often found myself thinking about.
