The Years of the City

The Years of the City is a science fiction novel by American writer Frederik Pohl, published in 1984.

The novel is composed by five connected stories, describing an utopia being built in New York City.

[1] Dave Langford reviewed The Years of the City for White Dwarf #64, and stated that "There are corny elements (like the traditional whores and crooks with hearts of gold in story 1) and things I can't believe; but overall it's impressive, with enough 'realistic' bitterness to make us cynics swallow the sugary core of optimism.
