Rocket Fuel: Some of the Best From Tor.com Non-Fiction by Bridget McGovern, Chris Lough
3.0
There are a lot of good essays here. My favorite is the one about Joe Vs. the Volcano, which ought to tell you everything you need to know about the topics on hand. However, to be a little more descriptive - the essays collected here began life on Tor.com and were written by a diverse array of talent from across the science-fiction and fantasy world.
Topics include everything from Star Wars to LotR to Harry Potter to, well, Joe and his Volcano and how they relate, or can be related to, modern issues and questions of inclusion, gender, race, othering, and the meaning of life and death. It’s a good collection fit for both bite-size reads while waiting line or for measured chunks of enforced downtime. Recommended.
