    I read the title as "Meatopolis", then as "Meatropolis" and wondered if it was a dystopian future (drink!) where people were a food source, or a utopian one where the buildings were made out of bacon.

    I dont know - I'm kinda holding out for the Australian GIGACITY Project. I think a Million Square Miles of City in the Australian Desert supporting a Billion Population in a Hightech City is going to be freaking awesome...

    @jaylake: I'm listening to it now, but I'm not too big on anything in audiobook form. I'll get a better feel when I buy the book.

    @mewlink64: The funny thing is it was written for audio, so to me it actually seems to flow slightly less well in print.

    @Charlie Jane Anders: Thanks! It was the first thing I wrote after I'd recovered enough from cancer surgery to manage a keyboard. That means a lot to me.

    @GarjaWhchi: You'd probably find yourself throwing a lot more empty liquor bottles just because it would sound cooler in the narration.

    @Grey_Area: Hamazon.com says Meatropolis will be coming out in book form on July 30. We'll have to plug it in the monthly "new books" things for July.
