Slidewalks, Zeppelins, and Naked Brains in Bottles!

.

Zeppelin City
, the brilliant collaborative story between Eileen Gunn and, well, (cough) me, has just been published on Tor.com as part of their special October theme of Steampunk Month.

Eileen surely exaggerates when she claims the story was fourteen years in the making. But I do seem to recall that all the tech was cutting edge when we started it.

Will you love it? Considering that it has a girl inventor named Radio Jones, an ornithopter pilot named Amelia Spindizzy, and giant naked brains afloat in bottles, the real question is not whether you'll love it, but how could you not?

Plus, the story has the ingredient that all the Web has been screaming for: It's free.
