by Miciah Johnson. It's her second book. the first one, "The Space Between Worlds" was just such a masterpiece that I got this one as soon as it came out. It's is the same setting as the first book, but now the reader sits on the shoulder someone bearing witness to an evolving uprising.
What's so great is the way she unpacks the history as understood by the community in revolt in relation to the narrative as countenanced by the those within the prestige community. Historiography within science fiction is an unexpected treat
