About the story:

"Palimpsest" follows Pierce, a police officer working with the Stasis, a special institution dedicated to the preservation of humanity by its agents who are able to travel through time. Every time humanity dies, the Stasis reseeds Earth with a new generation of humans to develop a civilization. However, the Opposition, an organisation that seems to struggle against the Stasis, has been created over time, and it seems that Pierce is somehow tied to it.

The novella won the Hugo Award in 2010 and appears in the anthology "Wireless."
