China Mieville’s non-fiction reflects his background in international law and left-wing politics. Between Equal Rights (2006) applies Marxist theory to international law, while October (2017) tells the story of the Russian Revolution as a gripping narrative. A Spectre, Haunting (2022) examines the Communist Manifesto and its enduring influence.
He has also co-edited War With No End (2007), a collection of essays on the Iraq War, Red Planets (2009), which examines Marxism and science fiction, and London’s Overthrow (2012), a pamphlet about the social impact of austerity on London. Together, these works show a writer deeply engaged with political questions both inside and outside his fiction.
