“a Heinlein juvenile with old people in it”

METAtropolis is an audio shared-world anthology that recently was available only on Audible, where it was produced. But it was too big to be contained only in the digisphere – Brilliance Audio now has this on Audio CD and MP3-CD, and Subterranean Press is publishing a limited hardcover.

Audible.com, likely in an effort to boost its chances of winning a Hugo Award for its 2008 audio anthology METAtropolis, has released the entire audiobook for free to NORTH AMERICAN audible customers (sorry Europe and the rest)! All you’ll need is an audible account and to follow the link.

As you can see the collection has already achieved the highest goal it possibly could (the coveted SFFaudio Essential status), but having a Hugo award on the cover can’t hurt either. This is the first time an audiobook collection has been nominated for a Hugo award. The competition will be with: The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Hellboy II and Iron Man.
