Use in Fiction
The immensity of the megalopolis, and the idea that it might one day form an actual uninterrupted city, has inspired several authors and has resulted in extrapolations of the current megalopolis appearing in fiction. Examples include William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, which envisions a future Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis known as The Sprawl, and the even larger Quebec-Florida Mega-City One from the Judge Dredd comic book series.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“I write fiction and I’m told it’s autobiography, I write autobiography and I’m told it’s fiction, so since I’m so dim and they’re so smart, let them decide what it is or it isn’t.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
