Description
Four of the biggest names in modern fantasy writing novellas that are new to the general trade. This collection celebrates the fantastic potential of the city whether in the terrifying teeming gothic grandeur of New Crobuzon, or the subtle otherness of Geoff Ryman's London. This is a landmark collection from four of the genre's most respected names. An A to Z to the streets of the imagination.Tags

A Year in the Linear City (Good ending, very strange and original city but the affairs of the characters seem fairly mundane. A little slow. Many long words I wasn't sure if he was making up. Liked slang a lot.)
-
Firing the Cathedral (Normal Jerry Cornelius novel, meaning of couse that it made no sense but was still kind of fun. Great quotes.)
-
V.A.O. (Very cool and original. Old (as in senior citizens) hackers get revenge for being left behind and forgotten.)
-
The Tain (Strange, pretty cool, good ending but kind of confusing with some questions left unanswered. Cool concept from Borges.)
