Crystallization

This is the ultimate traffic nightmare—city-wide gridlock. In this savagely satirical view of the near future, vehicular traffic in Los Angeles finally loses its liquidity, transforming into slow-moving slush, then finally hardening into sun-baked mud. With cars and trucks and buses paralyzed across a hundred miles of freeway parking lot, the city grinds to a painful stop—or does it?

Plus a bonus story! Afternoon With A Dead Bus, a bizarre urban fantasy only David Gerrold could write.
