"Perdido Street Station" is everything I hoped it would be. It's a grotesque allegory, one of the most distressing, lyrical depictions of urban sprawl that I've read. It rivals "Blade Runner" and has a visceral sensibility that even most good science fiction lacks.

I'm enthusiastically recommending this one even though I'm far from through with it.
