Finished the final story in the first Metatropolis anthology, "To Hie from Far Cilenia" by Karl Schroeder. I loved this story the most last time I read it and it was just as good this time around. Blending cyber punk and steam punk in augmented reality worlds and economies, this story tells a fascinating stories of many "other worlds are possible!". I have daydreamed about running a reading group of this text as a starting point for a discussion of prefigurative politics and subcultures. I think it has so many fun and interesting world building plots that could help facilitate an exciting discussion of the topic.

On day I will compile the texts and draft questions then draw together friends to discuss it, but until then. I recommend at least reading this text cause it is set in such an interesting world.
