I'm a big Bester fan so I like that story a lot. You probably already know this, but Bester is the writer who first wrote the Green Lantern oath: "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light!"I've heard of this story but never read it.
I'll check out the Kessel book.
I'm a big fan of intraprofessional sniping, so I've read several ripostes to the Cold Equations, as well as knocks on Asimov's Robot series like Bester's short story "Fondly Fahrenheit" or LeGuin's response in The Dispossesed to Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. That being said, I've have not yet read Jemisin's response to Le Guin's The Ones Who Walked Away. Jemisin put me off with the whole "attack helicopter" imbroglio.
