[ via Tom Becker ] Slashdot reviews one of my favorite novels of the 1990′s, the Tiptree Award winning China Mountain Zhang. It’s the story of a young Chinese-American man trying to accept and understand his gayness, and work his way through a system which seems stacked against his becoming an engineer. I first read it in a dark time when, after spending nearly a decade of graduate and undergraduate school to become an economist, I realized it wasn’t what I wanted to do. Mc Hugh’s book counts as an inspiration for me to go back to my first love of computers.
