"Georgia on My Mind" (1993) is a novelette by Charles Sheffield which won both the Hugo Award for Best Novelette and the Nebula Award in 1994.
The novelette involves two major themes: being widowed and the quest for a legendary Babbage computer. The "Georgia" of the title is the remote South Georgia Island which lies just north of Antarctica. The story, perhaps, resonates with the author being a widower when writing it.

“Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find, just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.”

“His mind resembled the vast amphitheatre, the Colisæum at Rome. In the centre stood his judgement, which, like a mighty gladiator, combated those apprehensions that, like the wild beasts of the Arena, were all around the cells, ready to be let out upon him. After a conflict, he drove them back into their dens; but not killing them, they were still assailing him.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
