>Pullman's hateboner for organized religion is really obvious, especially in the third book.
It was an artefact of it's time.
People could get away with writing fedora tier diatribes in the wake of 9/11 and while the Bush and Blair administrations were in full swing. It all fell into place with the militant atheism of Dawkins and the rest. Hard to imagine anyone getting away with it now.

Phillip Reeve also wrote the Mortal Engines series. I didn't like it as much because it was depressing as hell, but it was one of the better dystopian worlds ever dreamt up. It was very creative, and even though a lot of things didn't exactly make sense, the world felt extremely cohesive and fully formed.

read this. I've posted it on lit before and no one ever seems to have read it, despite it being the best dytopic/cyberpunk/sci-fi book series ever

What does /lit/ think of this?

I remember enjoying when I was a kid, but then again I also enjoyed Eragon.
