Walter Jon Williams has just made his excellent far-future fantasy novel
Metropolitan
available in various electronic formats -- which means you should go buy it, if you don't already have a copy -- and has
started a series of fascinating blog posts about that book.
Update: I'm running late on reading them thar Internets;
part two is already up, which is mostly about how everyone in the world other than WJW started calling his fantasy novel "SF" and asking the wrong questions.
