Welcome to a world where big cities are dying, dead - or transformed
into technological megastructures. Where once-thriving suburbs are now
treacherous Wilds. Where those who live for technology battle those who
would die rather than embrace it. It is a world of zero-footprint
cities, virtual nations, and armed camps of eco-survivalists.
METAtropolis is an intelligent and stunning creation of five of
today's cutting-edge science-fiction writers: 2008 Hugo Award winners
John Scalzi and Elizabeth Bear; Campbell Award winner Jay Lake; plus fan
favorites Tobias Buckell and Karl Schroeder. Together they set the
ground rules and developed the parameters of this "shared universe",
then wrote five original novellas - all linked, but each a separate
tale.
Bringing this audiobook to life is a dream team of performers:
Battlestar Galactica's Michael Hogan ("Saul Tigh"); Alessandro Juliani
("Felix Gaeta"); and Kandyse McClure ("Anastasia 'Dee' Dualla"); plus
legendary audiobook narrators Scott Brick (Dune) and Stefan Rudnicki
(Ender's Game).
John Scalzi, who served as Project Editor, introduces each story,
offering insight into how the METAtropolis team created this unique
project exclusively for audio.
