Clarke Award and British Fantasy/August Derleth Award. And if you're familiar with that seminal music scene, one can sense much of the same aesthetic in Perdido Street Station, Miéville's second novel and 2001's winner of both the Arthur C. He looks like some Manchester postpunk rocker on his way to a Ph.D in economics.
