Far too short and superficial to be a truly useful source or provide political insight. An interesting life nonetheless.

Cool premise, nice world-building, satisfying plot development.
Somehow, Mieville's writing is a log to follow sometimes... the minutiae of events is tiring. The characters remain fair faceless.

Der lokale Einblick in die Zeit bzw. in die gefärbte Wahrnehmung des Autors in die Zeit, ist grundsätzlich interessant. Aber für so eine politische Zeit voller Klassen- und Kriegskonflikte bleibt die Erzählung irgendwie trotzdem unpolitisch und übernimmt ohne Erweiterung den beschränkten Blick des petit bourgeois Protagonisten Samson. Um Nadjeschda, dem zweiten Namen des Titels, geht es kaum. Der krimihafte Plot bleibt völlig langweilig, die Auflösung unfassbar enttäuschend.

Einige gute Essays, andere fühlen sich oberflächlich und als ob in Eile geschrieben an.
informative
Very smart, clear eyed critique of finacialisation.
In my view, the 'power bloc' of finance still matters importantly but this is a great challenge to both Leninist and more recent Post-Keynesian positions.

Entzückend belanglos und schön.
