In R.K. Duncan's "For Every Jack," a Tor.com Original short story, humanity has settled space and left Earth to its destruction.

Connor and Ines have traveled back to Earth on a preservation project to find the human "jacks" that sacrificed their bodies to prop up the United States's failing infrastructure. But the jacks hold a secret, one Connor would rather keep hidden than risk the truth being made public.
