Excellent!

Congrats China!

Congratulations to Miéville!

Iron Council is most deserving of such an honor.

River Of Gods is also a very good book. I have to say I do not truly know whether it or Iron Council deserves to win. River Of Gods is probably one of the best works of Cyberpunk fiction I have ever read, its up there with Neuromancer and Snow Crash. I would urge anyone that hasn't already to read it.
