This is more a question, in terms of Sci-Fi are people familiar with China Miéville? Perdido Street Station, Embassytown, and The City and the City are classics, Perdido Street Station might be the best fiction I have ever read. Dark stuff

Perdido Street Station was one of the best sci-fi novels I've read. I haven't read much - if any - of Miéville's other material, but it's on my list.

FWIW, his work seems to be at least relatively well known in the US. As one example, I'm sitting at a random Barnes & Noble store in Durham NC as I write this, and they have several Miéville titles on the shelf.

I think he's decently well known. I've seen him mentioned a few times on HN at least, all favorably.
