Here is the official synopsis of *Perdido Street Station*:

In the sprawling, chaotic city of New Crobuzon, where magic and machinery intertwine, a dangerous experiment unleashes a nightmare that threatens to consume everything. Isaac, a rogue scientist, unwittingly sets a monstrous force loose and must rally an unlikely band of outcasts to confront it. As the city teeters on the brink of destruction, the battle delves into the darkest corners of human ambition and the eerie beauty of the bizarre. China Miéville’s PERDIDO STREET STATION is a spellbinding journey into a world teeming with grotesque wonders, savage horrors, and the relentless pulse of revolution.

Reflecting on his collaboration with The Folio Society, Miéville shared, “Having encountered my first Folio Society edition as a child and been blown away by the beauty and mystery of the text, it has been a great honour to work with the Society on one of my own books. I’m still astonished that something I wrote will be part of this beautiful oeuvre, and grateful to everyone at the Society for making the whole process such a pleasure.”

This exclusive edition of *Perdido Street Station* is limited to just 500 copies worldwide and will be available starting Tuesday, March 18, exclusively on The Folio Society's website.
