This science fiction novella deals with plenty of themes: property rights, discrimination, intolerance, terrorism… among others. But I think those are just the background to the main point in the story, as the election of the tittle seems to suggest, which is just the decision that one of the main characters must make. The action takes place in the asteroids belt, far in the future, with colonists from Vesta trying to flee to Ceres for political reasons. And although the plot was engaging enough to keep me entertained, the characters were not so well developed and I felt slightly disappointed as I expected more from Greg Egan.

Camille is desperate to escape her home on colonized asteroid Vesta, journeying through space in a small cocoon pod covertly and precariously attached to a cargo ship. Anna is a newly appointed port director on asteroid Ceres, intrigued by the causes that have led so-called riders like Camille to show up at her post in search of asylum. Conditions on Vesta are quickly deteriorating - for one group of people in particular. The original founders agreed to split profits equally, but the Sivadier syndicate contributed intellectual property rather than more valued tangible goods. Now the rest of the populace wants payback. As Camille travels closer to Ceres, it seems ever more likely that Vesta will demand the other asteroid stop harboring its fugitives. - inside front cover.
