I bought them Thursday or some such and am through most of them now. They are... changing me. Not quickly, really, but more often I see the appeal of getting rid of the house and the stuff, attaching a trailer to my bike, and living out of a tent. Especially with advanced technology that makes living out of a tent comfortable; truly portable computers (my iBook is close, but not quite there); and meta-cultures where I really can walk into a building where I am a member, grab a few dishes, cook the food that I brought in, then clean up and move on. I plan on buying a few more copies of this for friends who will appreciate it and relatives who might be inspired by it. Please write more. This is a rich world that could be a wonderful playground!

The performance of the readers and the production values put it over the top. Mr. Scalzi, please keep the shared-world writing coalition together. I really hope you and your co-conspirators are planning a sequel. Metatropolis is truly excellent — the best sf I’ve read or listened to this year.

So much so that I just had to Google "Metatropolis" and see what others were saying! This is my first experience with any of the authors who wrote it, but I'm a big fan of Scott Brick and Stefan Rudnicki already. I can't just say I love it, because it's so inherently sad to think of our nation that wrecked. But the writing is so excellent that it has almost made me wish, maybe not to experience the death of our nation as we know it, but that it wouldn't take that death to create such zero-footprint, community-centered practopias.

Is there some reason I should buy it from the site instead of itunes? Because since I already have itunes and an ipod it just seems easier than dealing with any download and transfer-into-itunes issue. I have very little patience for technical stuff. :) yeah the 4.95 vs the 19.95 thing is making me feel guilty.. Is there some reason I should buy it from the site instead of itunes?
