A METAtropolis Story

By: John Scalzi

Narrated by: Alessandro Juliani

The only thing Benji lacks more than ambition is luck. And his new job has to be the lowest of the low. But something is stirring in the zero-footprint economy of New St. Louis. And Benji’s about to find himself chin deep in the muck!

Best story in METAtropolis

Of course, a few of them were drivel, but this story was outstanding, even on its own. Liked it so much I bought the stand alone version.

i’ve completed the entire series

i loved the paths the different authors wove the stories into one i loved this series it was fun

New to this author

So far I’m digging his stuff. And apparently I need 15 words. Three more words

Great short story

Very entertaining listen! Alessandro is one of my favorite narrators and he makes this cute, interesting, sci fi story that more intriguing.

Way too short.

I wanted to keep this storyline going, and going, and going... Scalzi understands smarts** and writes it so well that I feel __acknowledged__ and (in this case) not just accepted, but celebrated. Thank you for writing this, John. Also need to to say that Juliani's narration is perfect. It could not better.
