China wrote a weirdo science fiction story in the format of a college syllabus because he is a mad genius. Enjoy. #Mievillains

Centique Ah Mieville, your brain is both fascinating and frightening! 😝😍 5y

Pickpick

I thought this was going to be lesser-Miéville, just a YA riff on Moby Dick with a train hunting an albino mole on an ocean of rails...

& that‘s what it is for awhile, with a dose of the weird Russian sci-fi of the Strugatskys. But it reads like Mad Max: Fury Road as coming-of-age drama with a warm beating dieselpunk heart.

This was perfect from that first bloodstained night all the way to the Heaven that waits at the End of the Line.

JazzFeathers Oh, this sounds so interesting! Not easy to find good dieselpunk stories out there. 7y
