description: Five original tales set in a shared urban future--from some of the hottest young writers in modern SFMore than an anthology Metatropolis is the brainchild of five of science fiction's hottest writers--Elizabeth Bear Tobias Buckell Jay Lake Karl Schroeder and project editor John Scalzi---who combined their talents to build a new urban future and then wrote their own stories in this collectively-constructed world. The results are individual glimpses of a shared vision and a reading experience unlike any you've had before.A strange man comes to an even stranger encampment...a bouncer becomes the linchpin of an unexpected urban movement...a courier on the run has to decide who to trust in a dangerous city...a slacker in a zero-footprint town gets a most unusual new job...and a weapons investigator uses his skills to discover a metropolis hidden right in front of his eyes.Welcome to the future of cities.
