In "City Come A-Walkin'," John Shirley presents a unique blend of cyberpunk and urban fantasy where the city of San Francisco itself becomes a sentient character. The story follows Stu Cole, a club owner, as he teams up with this anthropomorphic city to combat corporate greed and social decay. As they navigate a world of advanced technology and urban challenges, the duo must confront the ethical and existential questions that arise from a sentient cityscape.
Shirley crafts a narrative that explores themes of identity, urban life, and the ethical implications of sentient environments. For SFcrowsnest readers who enjoy stories that offer a fresh take on the cyberpunk genre, "City Come A-Walkin'" is a groundbreaking and thought-provoking read.
