On "Apocalyptic London." Just published, already has 38 comments, many blasting the article because, as one says, The .journalist is a Marxist member of the Socialist Workers Party and others calling it an Excellent piece. I haven't read it yet, but based on the "reviews" already there, seems it's a "people are going to be talking about this" must read.
The editor's note: China Miéville .is the author of several novels, including ‘‘The City and the City.’’ He lives and works in London. An expanded version of this essay will be published on March 5, 2012, on his Web site www.londonsoverthrow.org.
