"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.
