I need to tell you about one of my favourite video games from the past decade, and why its world is something special. But first, we need to talk about Star ...
China Mieville’s books ‘The Scar’ and ‘Perido Street Station’ are great at giving information without hitting you over the head.
For instance, there’s a tavern called 'The Moon’s Two Daughters." From the description of the sign [two girls dancing around the Moon] we learn that Earth’s Moon now has satellites of its own.
Man, I tried with Perdido Street Station. I had it recommended to me, so I picked it up and got maybe halfway through it, but it just didn’t hold me. I’ve tried once more since then but it just felt like a slog. It’s super creative but I think I just don’t like the writing style. No judgment, you just reminded me of the minor shame of not liking something someone recommended, lol.
