A Spectre, Haunting

by China Miéville

In a world beset by phantoms and sorcery, a strange political tract emerges, whispering of an insatiable system that consumes all it touches. As the spectre of Marx's Manifesto rises once more, a new generation must confront the vampiric energies of late capitalism and the creative destruction it unleashes.
