Really quite excellent. Language shapes reality. A race that is genetically built to speak the truth, learns to lie. When communication demands the training of brain-link twins that act as ambassadors and translators of a two-tongue language.
I admire how Miéville takes you into this complex new world full of new terms and concepts without hand-holding. Same way you're supposed to learn a new language: By immersing yourself into it. No dictionaries :)
