Reeves says in a statement: “It was amazing to have the opportunity to collaborate The Book of Elsewhere with one of my favorite authors, China Miéville. China did exactly what I hoped: she came with a clear architecture for the story and how she wanted to play with the world of BRZRKR, a world I love so much. I was thrilled with her vision and feel honored to be part of this collaborative process.”

Miéville added: “Sometimes the best games are the ones you play with other people’s toys. It was an honor, a shock and a pleasure when Keanu invited me to play. But I could never have predicted how much it would be generous with the toys he has.” I spent so much time creating, how happy I am to experiment together, how open I am to real collaboration. I hope readers can experience even a fraction of the pleasure I felt reading The Book of Elsewhere in the serious business of playing.”
