Question for the LJ brain trust

Which sf books/stories are set in Boston?

Huzzah for a post-Arisia snow day!

ETA: The reason for the question is that I'm thinking of putting together a self-guided walking tour of Boston as seen in sf (also, possibly other local towns, given enough material).

Does Star Trek count? :)

If so, then "Strangers From the Sky" by Margaret Wander Bonanno contains a subplot involving Spock trapped in Boston in a "past" century (22nd I believe or maybe 21st). I seem to recall it name checking MIT. In it Bonanno gives Spock jewish ancestors, which I thought was a very nice touch. Highly recommended, if a little dated.

Star Trek novel or Star Trek ep? As long as it's printed, it definitely counts.

And it's cool to have Spock in Boston! Thanks for the pointer.

It's a novel. You can buy it from Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671734814/103-3320356-7212642)
