This is a short story by William Gibson or Bruce Sterling (80% sure it's one of these two). There's a part where some of the workers in a space setting (asteroid mining?) are described as listening to signals from stars or some such, as a form of entertainment or relaxation.



I desperately want to read this story again, but don't have the time (at this stage in life, at least) to go through all of William Gibson's and Bruce Sterling's short stories. And if the author isn't one of those two, then I'd really be stuck. Thanks for the help!
