Synopsis
The year is 2023. In a New York City determined to outdo even the excesses of the late 20th century, such characters as submarine eco-terrorist Philo Dufresne, billionaire Harry Gant, a mutant shark who prowls the sewer system, and the reanimated soul of the novelist Ayn Rand are caught up in a conspiracy involving Walt Disney, J. Edgar Hoover and an army of homicidal robots.

Review
The closest fictional relatives of Sewer, Gas & Electric may not be books at all but visionary movies like Brazil and Blade Runner. A comic writer and Information Age social satirist of the first water, Matt Ruff has one of the most fertile imaginations you'll come across, and the confident chops to string the fruits of this inventive intelligence together. The story is set in a near-future Manhattan of mile-high skyscraper construction projects, eco-terrorism, man-eating mutant sewer-dwelling white sharks and even more dangerous corporations.
From the Inside Flap
"A post-millennial spectacular-dizzyingly readable." -Thomas Pynchon" A turbocharged neo-Dickensian hot rod [with] plenty of intellectual horsepower." -Neal Stephenson
