Exclusive Online Event with China Miéville and Keanu Reeves

In a collaboration combining China Miéville’s signature style with Keanu Reeves’s soul-stirring narrative comes THE BOOK OF ELSEWHERE. Unlike anything these two-genre bending pioneers have created before, this novel is a unique tale of ancient powers, modern war, and an outcast who cannot die.

Join us LIVE on Wednesday 24th July, 12:30am BST for a special virtual conversation between China Miéville and Keanu Reeves, who will be joining live from the USA in this international online event.

Customers will also be able to watch the recorded livestream back at a time to suit them with a link that will be provided to them directly by Waterstones (link will be valid for one week)

Keanu and China will discuss how they were inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books, their writing process, and their creative partnership. Plus, submit a question when you register for a chance to have it answered live!

While supplies last, tickets will include a SIGNED copy of THE BOOK OF ELSEWHERE, autographed by both China Miéville and Keanu Reeves. [NB this option has now sold out, UNSIGNED copies are now also available.] 

Please note that the ticket with book option for this event requires a UK postal address. Please don’t select this option is you do not have a valid UK postal address as you will not receive the book and may still be charged.

Books will be posted after this event, and so will arrive a few days later.
