Perdido Street Station - China Miéville

Has anyone else read this, or anything else by this guy? I picked this up after reading a quick blurb about a group of authors writing a genre called “new weird”. Holy shite guys. If sci-fi, steampunk, world building, fantasy, political commentary, and just straight-up strange interests you, this is it— all twisted up together.

Yes, this came out in like 2000.

I’ve read two of his books. Perdido Street Station and King Rat. I read King Rat in say 2002, I think, for a sci fi lit class at LSU. It was honestly one of my favorite classes at lsu. We read Island of Dr Moreau, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and watched Blade Runner. Pretty sure the professor was a self described communist. Not surprising that Mieville is a huge leftist and that shows in his writing. None of that bothers me personally just pointing it out for those who may read this thread and choose to jump into his books.
I read Perdido just a few years ago. It’s one of three of his books set in the same world. This thread has reminded me to download the other two and give them a listen. I just never have time to read books these days.
Btw - it is some weird shite.
