Apparently
he wants to re-define each and every genre of books so no two of his are the same.

Cityx2 was his crime novel, and I have Perdido street station that is his sci-fi outing buried somewhere, if you like him you might enjoy the Arabesk trilogy by Jon Courtenay Grimwood which is excellent, friend who gave them to me said its along the same line as cityx2

Perdido Street Station was a great 'world' but the storytelling was a bit shit
Avoid the Scar
Iron Council is ace
Kraken is alright but he introduces too many characters and then just moves on from them, no development other than 'hey new character!'
UnLunDun is ace
