A powerful examination of geek culture today and how all of us can do better. Read it!
The book gave me a lot to think about. The author is a hell of a writer. I couldn't give it a full five stars, though, because of the structure of the book. A lot of times she'll make references to something and, instead of giving context, will just put a reference in the back of the book and a link to some website. This is fine if I'm reading a web page, but cumbersome if I'm reading a physical book.
yes, ok so I skipped the ones I'd read recently but still <3 <3 <3
I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had read them as individual essays. Multiple chapters were about the same subject, just different examples. I found myself just skipping large chunks.
I did enjoy the chapters about her struggle with health care (very depressing, yet inspiring) and how she writes.
