I'm a writer, publisher, and bridge instructor living in Long Beach, California. I discovered reading with Cowboy Sam a million years ago and continue reading in an increasingly post-literate world. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm practicing the martial arts or planning long distance bicycle trips. Learn more about me at www.rob-preece.com.... more »

  • The City & The City
    • Rated 5 stars

    Mieville writes weird and fascinating stories. This was one of the best--imagine two cities co-existing in the same space. From childhood, citizens of each are taught to ignore the other--to the point where noticing is a crime. It's a hard imagine but Mieville pulls it off. Fascinating. Also a good detective story.

    Enjoyable story set in a dystopic future world after an artificial intelligence revolt. I especially liked the characters and author Michael Swanwick did a fine job particularly with the minor female characters.
