A writer, considered by many, to be the next J.R.R. Tolkien.
His four books, in order, are "King Rat" about a young man who discovers his heritage is closely intertwined with legend, "Perdido Street Station" the first book in an unnamed series set on a world called Bas-Lag. In it, a scientist and his xenian (alien) lover uleash a nightmare on the city of New Crobuzon. "The Scar" second in the series, about a woman named Bellis Coldwine fleeing the city in the peripheral wake of the events in the previous. It delves much deeper into the history first glimpsed in "Perdido Street Station". Most recently is "Iron Council" which follows the history of the 'perpetual train' and how it comes to help out several people.
Though obscure he's won or been nominated for more awards than many writers produce.
Damn, that Miéville! I wish I could write half so well.

China's official name. Most dumbass Americans don't even know it exists, which is made worse by the fact that they legitimised the Communist enslavement of 1.2 billion Mainlanders by betraying the Chinese Republic and recognising Communist rule over all of China (including Taiwan), and don't even fucking know it. But it's to be expected, since Americans are clueless about anywhere else.
Me: I think it's terrible that the US doesn't support the Republic of China in cross-straits tensions.
American: Taiwan is an independent country and not a province of China, blah, blah...
Me: Regardless of which government you support, Taiwan remains a province of China you wierdo.
American: WTF?
Me: Americans are ignorant wierdos.

If something is made in China, it's a piece of fucking shit. Don't buy it, unless you hate America, in which case, fuck you.

A commonly seen phrase appearing under over 50% of the world's products, "Made in China" almost became a signature of industrial standard worldwide.
Also, "Made in China" is a funny, yet true concept, where many humor can spawn from it... when you just look closely at the things we use everyday.
Look! Underneath the world map said "Made in China"! Isn't that funny?
The souvenirs sold from shops in Japan said "Made in China"!
