The Wiscon Chronicles: Volume 1 by L. Timmel Duchamp
4.0
Lots of good, interesting articles and other things in here. Even a short story. It makes me more than ready to go to Wiscon this year!
But it also makes me feel dumb. Lots of very smart people talking about things at a level way over my head. Or past my head, because it's not a subject I've thought a lot about or developed much of an interest in.
This is sort of like a slice of Wiscon. If your slice is skewed towards the academic track and and some of the harder panels.
But it did make me feel like I'd missed out. I missed out on the 30th Wiscon, where tons of past guests of honor were milling about, participating in programming, and being smart and interesting.
This book is a little piece of Wiscon history and fascinating reading (even when it did go over my head).
