I just started this book, I’ve never read Miéville so will see how it goes. But this seems very much like something Keanu would help write.

Wtf is hyper-violent? Sounds gross imo

[squirrels_oh_no]

I bet it's not anything like Ultraviolence by Lana Del Ray.

(Pretty sure it's like violence to the same degree as the boys)

John Wick is hyper-violence

[nermal_kat]

That's exactly what the world needs... excessive violence. Sounds like so much fun.

[maishi_obuki]

Not needed, but he's already made four John Wick movies, so there's def a huge audience for hyper violence.
I don't know how many will actually pick up a book, but it has the potential for success. And there's probably already some studios keeping tabs on how this turns out to nab it for a future.

I'd rather have an animated Superman for all Seasons

YES I AM HERE FOR THIS

Ugh, isn't Mieville a missing stair or something? I vaguely remember something akin to the recent scandal with Gaiman coming out about him a few years back.
