China Miéville wants you to know that he does not have a Facebook account.

I like him already.
China Miéville has a problem with people impersonating him on Facebook. Adding to the problem is that there’s no way he can report it without being logged in. He’s tried. And he’s had friends report the fake profiles. They are still up. He’s resorted to sending a paper letter to Facebook with an explanation that if things don’t change, he’ll ask people to post it.
That’s the problem with a lot of places today. You can’t get in to the site to complain about what the site is doing.
On Facebook, nobody knows you’re a dog — even if you call yourself Barack Obama.
