Books update!

Over at Strange Horizons is an excellent interview with Justina Robson, one of the best of the current crop of British Science fiction authors around at the moment (cf Charlie Stross, Al Reynolds, China Miéville, Jon Courtenay Grimwood, John Meaney, Ken MacLeod, and of course more established but no less radical & brilliant writers like Paul McAuley, Iain M Banks, Brian Stableford and so on… And Jeff Noon, who doesn’t fit comfortably in with anyone really).

I’ve just ordered Justina’s new novel, Natural History from Amazon.co.uk, and it looks very interesting; also ordered Felaheen, the third Arabesk by Jon Courtenay Grimwood, which will no doubt be awesome. Meanwhile, reading China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station which is indeed awesome (won the Arthur C. Clarke award, accolades from everywhere…) and will garner a huge review here when done. I’ll put up my review of the wonderful new William Gibson novel sometime in the next few days. Suffice to say it lived up to all expectations and more.
