The results are individual glimpses of a shared vision, and a reading experience unlike any you've had before. <p/>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. <p/>Welcome to the future of cities.

Each story shines on its own; as a group they reinforce one another, building a multifaceted view of a realistic and hopeful urban future." --<i>Publishers Weekly, starred review</i> <p/>"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." --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>John Scalzi</b> won the 2006 John W.
