When I worked for the public library here in Canada, I saw both American English and UK English editions of David Wingrove's "Chung Kuo" books. There were other authors, but I remember that one more distinctly than the rest.
The setting of the book doesn't effect my desire for the use of language. In the spoken portions of the book perhaps, but not the narration.
