"Editor Scalzi (Zoe's Tale) and four well-known writers
thoughtfully postulate the evolution of cities, transcending
postapocalyptic cliches to envision genuinely new communities and
relationships.... Each story shines on its own; as a group they
reinforce one another, building a multifaceted view of a realistic
and hopeful urban future." --Publishers Weekly, starred
review"Scalzi and his contributors/collaborators have created a
fascinating shared urban future that each of them evokes with his
or her particular strengths. Originally an audio anthology, this
stellar collection is a fascinating example of shared world
building, well deserving of a parallel life in print."
