A review by bsolarz
The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley

3.0

While I think Hurley did a really good job of not alienating non-geek culture readers, I generally felt that the individual essays were a bit all over the place. She would start with one point but then go on two to three tangents before coming back to her point with one concluding sentence, leaving me a bit confused. Fair warning though, this book is not wholly about feminism in geek culture, as it was advertised as, but has feminism as a central theme that stems from her own personal problems with it - that is to say it is more of a personal recollection of events that have happened to her, with a feminist viewpoint.
However, as mentioned, she did a good job of introducing sexist and racist problems within geek-culture without making it boring for someone not interested in geek culture, and even linking it to programs/movies that I knew!
