New China Mieville novel just dropped

[-] context@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

i was going to ask if this is inspired by perdido street station

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I am suddenly very curious about this book

[-] context@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

stalin-approval is good!

a few of mieville's books are set in his weird fantasy steampunk world. one of the characters is a species of beetle, where the males are just beetles but the females have beetle heads but humanoid bodies, and she's in a relationship with a human character. someone here described his books as he introduces you to these fascinating characters that you quickly care for, and then he spends most of the novel staring you straight in the eye while putting all of them very slowly through a meat grinder. because they also live in a capitalist hellscape.

Hey that was me

Perdido Street Station inspired me to write something where the cute bug girl and her human bf actually get a happy ending too

[-] context@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

rat-salute it's a description that's both vivid and accurate

I was going to add the joke caption "Perdido Street Station (2000)"

I already got a reputation I see bug-facts

[-] Farman@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I prefer the type of bug (wo)men that look exactly like humans but in close inspection are a swarm of diferent types of bugs like in green brain or the first arcs of reverend insanity. Honestly i was anoyef they droped that asthethic in the latter since it would have been very cool. And would explain why the protagonist is such a hardcore volcel.
