"And Then There Were (N-One)" was a finalist for the Nebula Award for Best Novella of 2017 [1] and the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Novella. [2] It was later republished in the 2019 collection Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea by Small Beer Press. [3]
Tor.com found it "gloriously high-concept", with "a sense of the minute as potentially revelatory", [4] while Kirkus Reviews described it as "phenomenal". [3] Tangent Online , however, considered it "a fairly straightforward murder mystery", and "rather self-absorbed, for obvious reasons". [5]
