Pressestimmen

"An incisive, opinionated, and demanding blend of analysis and personal storytelling that will inspire her readers and peers in the science fiction community to work toward change." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Plenty of inspiration here for promising writers and for young women drawn to a culture where sexism is rife.... Passion and commitment permeate the writing as Hurley illuminates the online cultural vanguard from a feminist's perspective." --Kirkus Reviews"A call to arms for those who care about the future of science fiction and fantasy."--John Scalzi, author of The Old Man's War "Hurley writes with passion, power, and raw, unapologetic honesty. Her essays are both blunt and thoughtful, and will give you a great deal to ponder about the speculative fiction genre and the world at large." --Jim C. Hines, author of the Goblin Quest series"Kameron Hurley writes essays about feminism, geek culture, online discourse, and changing the world that piss people off, make them think, make them act. This is good stuff. Read it."--Kate Elliott, author of Black Wolves"The Geek Feminist Revolution is is an essential book for working and aspiring authors. It's part writing advice, part call to revolution, part manual for how to be a writer and an activist and a loudmouth even when (especially when) you're not a straight, white, cisgender man. This book is the next step in the conversation about how to write the Other. It's also about how to challenge mainstream nonsense when you're 'the Other, ' even when you're desperately pretending not to be. Hurley's essays are a beacon, signaling to writers in the trenches that they're not alone, and they're not imagining how hard it is to push against the mainstream, or how the culture shoves back ten times harder." --K Tempest Bradford"Listen, and understand: Kameron is out there. She can't be talked over. She can't be sidelined, ignored, or shut down. And she absolutely will not stop, ever, until things change. "--Seth Dickinson, author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant"Kameron Hurley's a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with a unique vision-her fiction burns right through your brain and your heart." --Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Southern Reach Trilogy

Had I known this is a call to arms for those who care about the future of science fiction and fantasy, I would have said "Oh that applies less to me than pretty much 0.00001% of the population". I don't like either genre, have never participated in flaming, in fact I'm pretty oblivious to comments sections, period. I like memes, but not as much as reading my daily New York Times. I don't aspire to "bad-assedness" for myself or my daughters, and I find author Kameron Hurley's writing here too colloquial and pat for my taste. But I'm glad I read it anyway because there were some points that I appreciated, as a feminist in general (body shaming, self-defense, double standards, etc). Hurley is brutally honest about mistakes she's made, her medical history, and freely offers advice for would-be Sci-Fi Fantasy writers and marketers alike.There weren't a lot of names Hurley dropped that I recognized, but those I knew I liked - with the exception of Claire Messud (had no idea she wrote sci-fi fantasy): Isaac Asimov (did not know he was a perverted misanthrope!), Anita Sarkeesian, Margaret Atwood, Toni Morrison, and William Gibson. I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to geek feminist aspiring sci-fi fantasy writers.

Das Buch bietet eine gute Sammlung aus kurzen Texten über Feminismus und Geek Kultur. Das einzig negative ist, dass sich die Texte manchmal etwas wiederholen und die gleichen Themen anschneiden bzw. dieselben Elemente, die bereits in anderen Texten behandelt wurden mehr oder weniger wortwörtlich wiedergegeben werden.

I've always considered myself a geek and I've always considered myself a feminist even when others would try to paint it as a bad word. What is a feminist but one who wants equal rights and pay for women all over the world. I know that white women in the United States make 79 cents for every dollar a man makes [Hispanic women make 55 cents and African American women make 60 cents. Asian American women make 84 cents.] but that does not really hit home until you read this book and see what the author goes through as a female writer of science fiction/fantasy novels. Also, I didn't realize how women still get looked over for jobs for various reasons even though they are unfounded. The example I will give here is when the author was working at a movie theater and was up for a manager position but was passed over because it was assumed she would not be able to pick up the sixty-pound film reels which were part of the job. The thing was, she could. Of course, she had no idea at the time that this was happening. I thought we'd left that stuff behind.This book is about a revolution that is happening in the world of geekdom. Women have always been geeks but over the years our numbers have increased and some of the white boys are getting upset with the disruption of the status quo. "Women have gone from making up 25 to 30 percent of gaming audiences just ten years ago to over 50 percent of video game players, and 40 to 50 percent of creators. Forty percent of science fiction authors are female, as are 60 percent of speculative genres. Thier voices, their presence cannot be denied or explained away with talks of tokenism and exceptionalism. Women are here."This author is the great-granddaughter of resistance fighters from France and studied resistance movements in South Africa for her Master's degree. She knows how to fight back and isn't afraid to do so. She also believes that she needs to in order to make things easier for those that will come after her. She's been fighting for over ten years now through her blog and in a way her books which broke barriers by featuring strong women characters and characters that are from the LGBT community. She has won the Sydney J. Bounds Award and the Kitschies Award for her first novel, God's War, and the Hugo award twice, once for a blog she wrote that is included in this book and has been nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the Nebula Award, and the Locus Award among many others. She is well qualified to speak on this subject.The first section of this book is titled "Level Up" and deals with helping you to try to hone your writing skills. One of the most important lessons is persistence and that anyone can be a writer if you keep at it long enough. Also how the book business is, in fact, a business and a cutthroat one at that and you will have to be tough to survive it so make sure that this is really what you want. She stresses the importance of responsibility of writing. That what you write is important and you have to own it so make sure you are not reckless or get something wrong or perpetuate a damaging stereotype.The second section is titled "Let's Get Personal" and lets you get to know her. She talks about why she writes what she writes, which is dark fiction and about how she has always been overweight and that that is just how she is built even though she eats healthy and excersises and how that has affected her life. When she lost a job after being very sick and put in the hospital where she found out she was Type I diabetic she needed to stay insured or risk having her diabetes being considered a pre-existing condition. So she paid a lot of money for private insurance while she looked for a job and eventually ended up living on the couch of a friend and using expired insulin and testing the minimum amount of times. Then she lucked out and got a job working at a company that paid for full coverage with no cost paid by her. She also writes about dealing with online criticism and being a rebel and fixing a broken system.The third section is titled Revolution and it's just that: a call to revolution. It's meant to inspire you to be the hero and go out shake things up and do your part. Yes, she does do one essay on Gamergate and one on Sadpuppy. She also covers bullying and censorship online. And the bullying can take the form of trolls whose only goal is to upset you in any way they can with suicide the ultimate prize. Then there's those who call a SWAT team to your house, stalk you, and threaten your life and there's nothing the police can do or are willing to do about these people. They tell women to just stay off of the internet the way you would tell a woman to avoid getting raped to stay at home. Maybe the laws need to be more strict. Also included in this section is her Hugo award winning blog "We Have Always Fought: Challenging the 'Women, Cattle, and Slaves' Narrative". This blog focuses on how women have fought in wars across time and have largely been ignored.This book really made me rethink what it is to be a woman and a feminist. It also inspired me to take up the banner and be a part of the revolution. The essays were quite interesting and if you are a blogger or writer you will definitely get something out of this. But even if you are only a geek this book is well worth reading.QuotesIt’s easy to pretend you’re “normal”, just like everyone else. But normal is a lie. Normal is a story.-Kameron Hurley (The Geek Feminist Revolution p 104)For every good you do, you do harm somewhere else. Maybe sanity is simply accepting this truth, and carrying on regardless, and doing the best you can.-Kameron Hurley (The Geek Feminist Revolution p 197)The truth is that who is good and who is bad is highly dependent on who wins, and whose point of view we’re writing from.-Kameron Hurley (The Geek Feminist Revolution p 203)Life is a series of unrelated incidents. It is the human mind that seeks to string them together into narratives, into story. It is the human mind that gives events meaning.-Kameron Hurley (The Geek Feminist Revolution p 274)

This is a collection of short essays written by an accomplished Science Fiction writer about her experiences with publishing, publishing more, being a woman in SF, being a fat woman in the world, managing health and mental health issues as a busy writer. I picked it up at just the right time, and several of the essays were inspiring, but not just inspiring--they were *motivating.* While reading, I just began to burn with an urge to do something, to write something, to change the world. I really needed that right now!Her writing voice is strong, clear, and distinct. She has a gift for writing non-fiction that's relatable, readable, and powerful.I loved some of the essays more than others, but benefited from each of them. I liked reading a chapter before bed every night.

The Geek Feminist Revolution is a collection of essays that covers a wide variety of topics including books, movies fandom, and feminism, as well as some more personal selections that reveal Hurley's own history. I was surprised to find that I had already read a number of the essays found in here (they had been previously published online), but they were so damn good that it didn't bother me at all. The concepts and ideas that can be found in this book are worth revisiting, time and time again. When it comes to my favorite feminist nonfiction, I'd place this right at the top, next to Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist.

I've been a fan of Kameron Hurley for a short time and this was the first book I actually purchased of hers. I found this book, as a man, as an essential look into my blind spots and what I am consistently missing when reading and writing. I would recommend this to every single person that's interested in the craft of writing or any social/identity politics. Absolutely phenomenal!

Highly opinionated (just as every feminist should be) and no-holds barred. She tackles many different topics from the intersection of feminism and geekdom. Many male geeks lately have been trying to gatekeep women out of the geek world. We will not be kept out and as Hurley quotes one of her history professors "We have always fought"
