A Spectre, Haunting by China Miéville

4.5
A fascinating, thought provoking read. The Manifesto raises a number of issues which are as relevant today as they were at the time.
Mieville's analysis and contextualisation are invaluable, particularly where he ventures into a themes which the Manifesto touches only briefly like race. Minus half a star for Mieville's propensity for five dollar words, which make it less accessible and a clunkier read.
