A review by mistressviolet
Metatropolis: The Dawn of Uncivilization by Elizabeth Bear, Karl Schroeder, Jay Lake, Tobias Buckell, John Scalzi

dark reflective tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

 

 Like most short story collections, this one has some great stories, and some that are entirely unmemorable. Scalzi's story was my favorite, with the telltale lightness and humor that I love from him. 

 Some good stories, some just meh.
