In classic fashion, my own copies of the paperback haven’t reached me yet - and I wonder whether whoever whacked it at Customs is reading this book and possibly reconsidering their life choices. So I’m sending out this issue mainly to link you to The City Inside page on my site, let you know the paperback’s out, encourage you to get yourselves and your friends copies, and share some The City Inside updates I didn’t post last year

"The characters in The City Inside are fascinating, and the action is cerebral and calculating... Yet along with this superficial societal landscape, Basu also has retained a very human, very personal aspect to his story that not only keeps us grounded, but allows us to care" - LitStack
"The City Inside is a must read for everyone interested in adult dystopias as it captures remarkably a current moment and spins a realistic near-future story from here." - The Middle Shelf
Also, see how handsome the Best of World SF 2 anthology is, and a bonus panel on near future SF!
