London's Overthrow
'Mieville gives us a vision of a pre-apocalyptic London, where the chasm between rich and poor has reached catastrophic levels and anger is the only reasonable response.' Hari Kunzru  'China Mieville does more than reveal the skull beneath the London's scabby, piebald skin; he offers effervescent nourishment for the downpressed souls that stalk the streets of his divided city. Anybody who wants to know what has happened here  -  in the ground zero of a failed neoliberal experiment  -  must start with his unsettling panorama.' Paul Gilroy
