«Andando vem a cidade» is the cyberpunk novel by John Shirley, published by Editorial Caminho in paperback (185 pages, in Portuguese).
Stu Cole, owner of a nightclub, and Catz Wailen, a rock musician, try to keep their venue going against the mafia's harassment. Everything changes when they receive a visit from an avatar of San Francisco turned into an amoral being. The story traverses the rock underground, the energy of early punk, and a city turned into a technological nightmare.
Work originally published in English as City Come A-Walkin' in 1980; this Portuguese edition appeared in 1991 in the Caminho de Bolso collection.
For readers of science fiction and cyberpunk interested in the genre's origins and in urban settings with rock music.
