''Sewer, Gas & Electric: The Public Works Trilogy'' opens up with a crazy businessman building the tower of Babel in New York City, and a hapeless new hire to the Department of Sewers being eaten by a sewer-dwelling mutant great white shark. It's 2023, and New York is on the brink of a giant earthquake, and that's the least of the city's problems. Penned by [[Matt Ruff]], it's a novel of ecoterrorism, mad AIs, [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer|absurdly spacious sewers]] and an AI construct of [[Ayn Rand]] spouting objectivist philosophy and generally having melting down arguments with the rest of the cast.▼
