China Mieville imagines five future movements in literature, including Zombiefailism, Salvagepunk, and Noird:
Noird
Pronounced Nward: Weird Noir. Candidates for membership are already appearing. Crime novels, particularly of a hard-boiled variety, infused with and riffing off the strange. Detective fiction with a deeply sceptical relationship to the supposedly everyday, whether it eschews morality or not.
It’s no wonder that The Millionst staff writer Bill Morris found so much to praise in Embassytown: “Mieville’s phantasmagorical imagination is alive and well.”
