Metatropolis preorders


Metatropolis

Metatropolis is available for preorder via Audible.com, at a special price.

Even cooler, the readers have been announced for the 5 stories that are in the anthology:

1. “In the Forests of the Night” by Jay Lake, read by Michael Hogan (Col. Tigh on BSG)

2. “Stochasti-city” by Tobias Buckell, read by Scott Brick (2008 Audie Award winner, for Dune)

3. “The Red in the Sky is Our Blood” by Elizabeth Bear, read by Kandyse McClure ( Anastasia “Dee” Dualla on BSG)

4. “Utere Nihil Non Extra Quiritationem Suis” by John Scalzi, read by Alessandro Juliani (Lt. Felix Gaeta on BSG)

5. “To Hie From Far Cilenia” by Karl Schroeder, read by Stefan Rudnicki (reader of the Ender’s Game series)

I’ve listened to the whole thing, and it’s full of awesome. Jay’s story being read by Michael Hogan is pretty darn cool. Even cooler, if you preorder the Metatropolis, you’ll actually get that story right away.

The whole thing is released on the 21st.

    Sounds great, but I’m not having anything to do with Audible until they drop DRM. Amazon (Audible’s parent company) says they’ll consider it if customers complain, but I’ll believe that when it happens.

    You know, if I hadn’t already been interested in this whole thing from the start because of who is in it, the fact that people from BSG, possibly the greatest sci-fi show ever, are doing some of the reading would have made me an instant buyer. Talk about awesome!

    Audible.com doesn’t work for me. Literally – I cannot persuade it to let me download files.

    Is this collection going to be available in ebook format any time?
