It also helps to know that she won to Hugo awards. However, learning about Hurley’s journey to becoming a (beloved and respected) science-fiction writer against all odds has been worth the read. If another had written this exact same book I may have been annoyed at the biographical bits.
I find it interesting that a non-fictional work about a topic is greatly affected by who has written it. I read a few feminist texts this year, and found some to be slightly repetitive. I was thrilled to see that The Geek Feminist Revolution has been appreciated by many of my bookish friends and I am no exception. In anticipation for the soon-to-be-published Apocalypse Nyx I thought I’d take some time and get to know Kameron Hurley (or at least her non-fictional voice).
