Metatropolis: the print edition

If you’re not an audiobook person, but you’ve been dying to read Metatropolis, you’ll have your chance this summer. It’s coming out via Subterranean Press this summer.
As John Scalzi notes, the limited edition is 200 copies and $60, signed by all contributors. Those will go fast. Order yours quickly if you’re interested in the limited.
The cloth hardcover edition is $30.
From Subterranean’s site:
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 get 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. Welcome to METAtropolis.
More 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.
You’re at the city limits now. See what’s waiting on the other side.

Also complicating that is fact that Thalia needs to be home tommorow since she has a cold: cough, runny nose, mild fever. 8 hrs ago
I fell asleep at 7:30pm and woke up at 12:30 due to coughing kid. Awake now. Will be interesting to see when I get tired. 8 hrs ago
Of course, I'm risking cliche. But these are the travails of being an entertainer: in realism vs keep story moving, moving wins 8 hrs ago
Mmm. The extended rise to leader of army plot sequence in this novella will be cut in favor of Duel To Death! Other way is long/boring. :) 8 hrs ago
Thalia's home today sick. Poor kid. Poor Toby's deadline LOL. 20 hrs ago
