[[http://flyovercity.blogspot.com/ Flyover City!]] is a WebSerialNovel written in blog form, about a twenty-something slacker / fanboy who works as a call center employee for the "big evil empire".

It's sorta like a mash-up of ''Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen'', ''Literature/HighFidelity'' and ''Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''
