abstract = "The idea for this story sparked while I was listening to Sean Williams give an hour-long talk about matter transmitters, in which he discussed some of the moral and philosophical implications of being {"}beamed up{"} - fascinating concepts that far surpassed anything I'd ever thought of while watching Star Trek. While {"}Surfacing{"} is, ultimately, not a matter transmitter story, it explores some of the problems this form of transport highlights: what happens to the {"}real us{"} when people dematerialise? What is lost each time we come apart? What remains?",
