Dick Award-winning novel, Life, to her critical reconsideration of the feminist sf canon.

The new collection...is characterized by...careful readings, sharp but unexpected insights, and passionate but wholly individualistic feminism...It's the sort of book that's rewarding to have around for browsing and idea-mongering....The longest piece, 'The Games,' is absolutely brilliant discussion of video games, the nature of game-making in general, and the ways in which such games have infiltrated both fiction and film. It's the sort of thing that makes you want to invite Jones to a bar and sit down and *talk* with her about this stuff, while knowing that what you really want to do is listen.

Not only is Gwyneth Jones a brilliant author, she's a fabulous essayist...This is a must read if you care about both, either, genre literature in any form, the exploration of self through literature, or a host of other topics. In fact, it's just plain worth a look. I've always enjoyed Gwyneth Jones's writing, but Imagination Space introduces me to the author as a literary critic and essayist, and I'm pleased to make the acquaintance. The essays in this collection are clear and lucid, insightful as all get out, and totally accessible. Probably more so than this paragraph...¦.As a non-academic, I often bounce off critical works scratching my head. Gwyneth Jones's mastery of her subjects and engaging writing pulls me in time and again, leaving me struck by how much more comprehensible the tangled web of speculative fiction is when seen through her eyes.
