Sewer, Gas and Electric by Matt Ruff. I picked it up because his first book, Fool on the Hill, was an excellent read. I picked it up year's ago on the advice of the person behind the counter a Bakka Books (a local speculative fiction book store).
Sewer, Gas and Electric is not quite as good. There are many good ideas at play but there almost seems to be too many things happening so the focus is a bit off. It just isn't as solid and enrapturing as Fool on the Hill.
