Description

The Geek Feminist Revolution is a collection of essays by double Hugo Award-winning essayist and fantasy novelist Kameron Hurley.

The book collects dozens of Hurley's essays on feminism, geek culture, and her experiences and insights as a genre writer, including "We Have Always Fought," which won the 2013 Hugo for Best Related Work. The Geek Feminist Revolution will also feature several entirely new essays written specifically for this volume.

Unapologetically outspoken, Hurley has contributed essays to The Atlantic, Locus, Tor.com, and others on the rise of women in genre, her passion for SF/F, and the diversification of publishing.

Advance Praise

"Passion and commitment permeate the writing as Hurley illuminates the online cultural vanguard from a feminist's perspective." – Kirkus Reviews
"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
“Hurley’s essays on feminism and the geek world are exactly what we need at this moment in progressive pop culture; this collection would truly do Rey and Furiosa proud.” —Sam Maggs, author of The Fangirl’s Guide to The Galaxy
"This is a book which will help define a generation of writers: by pulling no punches, Hurley does not allow the reader time to flinch. Add her to the list of authors I will one day consume in order to obtain their power." —Seanan McGuire, author of Every Heart a Doorway
“The Geek Feminist Revolution 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, NPR and io9 contributor
"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
"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 is a fearless foe when it comes to challenging ignorance and lobbing big ideas into view. She’s sharp and skilled and I will forever read anything she dares to write.” —Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath and Blackbirds
“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
“Lucidly brilliant insights into the state of SF/F today, seasoned with sharp-eyed experience.” —Charles Stross, author of The Merchant Princes series
