In addition to being a revolutionary socialist, and one of the founding members of the ISN, China Miéville is one of today’s most celebrated science fiction and fantasy authors. In 2010, his genre-busting mystery novel The City & the City won the Hugo Award, the World Fantasy Award, and the Arthur C. Clarke Award—making Miéville the only writer to win the Clarke award three times. His latest novel, Kraken, is a tale of competing Armageddons and religious cults in underground London.
