Short story about space worker geeks who zone out by 'listening' to radiation from stars
Short story with post apocalyptic setting, people forbidden to enter radiation zoneShort story about an endless space shipShort-story about moving “cathedral” cities on a Mercury-like planetShort story about a paranoid space cadetShort story collection about Transporter “Doors”Identify sci-fi short story about mysterious dwarf starsShort story about space traveller who runs afoul of bee-like aliens who collect knowledge?Short story about a slower-than-light interstellar ship carrying the last seeds of humanityShort story about werewolf killing 'boy scout'-type campersRussian short story about a person who can't inhabit time and another who can't inhabit space
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!
