Joyce Lionarons<p>As always, China Mieville says interesting and thought-provoking things about science fiction, politics, tech, and the world in general in this interview.

Bjørnar (he/him)<p>Just finished The City &amp; The City by China Miéville. Wow! It's been a while since I read a book that I enjoyed this much. The speculative fiction aspect of it had just the right balance of interesting philosophy and unexplained mystery. I can imagine it not being a book for just anyone, but reading has been generally less and less enjoyable for me lately, and this strange book fit me just right.<br><a href="https://social.coop/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/speculativeFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>speculativeFiction</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/ChinaMieville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChinaMieville</span></a></p>

Erik Ellestad<p>Hearing about China Miéville's new novel with Keanu everywhere. Before I read that dessert confection, I figure I should read some meat. I mean, I've read most of Miéville's fiction, maybe I should read some of his non-fiction, too. So, I'm reading, "October: The Story of the Russian Revolution". Plus, I know very little about the Russian Revolution. Could be informative/useful in the next few years.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NowReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NowReading</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ChinaMi%C3%A9ville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChinaMiéville</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ChinaMieville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChinaMieville</span></a></p>
Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Keanu Reeves has cowritten a novel and according to LitHub, it's quite good. He worked with speculative fiction writer China Miéville on "The Book of Elsewhere," which is set in Miéville's "BRZRKR" world, and is violent and action-heavy, with a dose of philosophy. "On the celebrity-novel scale, 'The Book of Elsewhere' stands well above pulpy cash-grabs like the Clintons’ co-written thrillers (to say nothing of the likes of Jake Tapper and James Comey) and it makes a better case for itself than the often-mediocre-at-best 'sure why not?' novels and stories from prestige actors like Ethan Hawke and Tom Hanks," writes Drew Broussard.

Duncan McClau<p>Me comentan que está bien hacer una presentación de verdad...<br>Hola, soy Duncan. Vivo dentro de un caos ordenado, trabajo en <a href="https://xarxa.cloud/tags/traducci%C3%B3n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>traducción</span></a>, aunque no soy traductor, toco la <a href="https://xarxa.cloud/tags/gaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaita</span></a> escocesa y a ratos me dedico a escuchar eso que llaman <a href="https://xarxa.cloud/tags/m%C3%BAsicacelta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>músicacelta</span></a> y a leer a gente como <a href="https://xarxa.cloud/tags/TerryPratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TerryPratchett</span></a> o <a href="https://xarxa.cloud/tags/ChinaMieville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChinaMieville</span></a> . Y sí, me dedico a hacer chistes malos porque mi cabeza funciona así, no puedo evitarlo. Me comunico en español, catalán, inglés y a veces en gallego.</p>
