Annalee ’s writing speaks for itself . I recommend curl up up with a cupful of coffee and pass an infinite amount of infinite / fourth dimension readingher incredible output signal , which span more than seven years of work for Gawker Media .

Starship Test 9

I first met Annalee when she and Charlie Jane Anders co - founded io9 in 2008 . I was so excited that the society was taking on science fiction and grotesque topic that I volunteered to do anything for io9 , anything at all . At the time , io9 was just Annalee and Charlie Jane , and they were based on the west coast . Every night they would queue up up posts for the morning , but they needed to ensure they were running during Eastern Standard Time hour . So Annalee let me look in on the io9 provender to hold in that it was operational , and I ’d be lying if I say that was n’t the highlighting of my twenty-four hours .

Since then , Annalee help make io9 into the plaza to go to read about skill fable , fantasy , dad culture , and everything awesome about the future , wrote a really coolbookabout our long - term survival as a specie , and became captain of the good ship Gizmodo . We ’re go away to miss the Hades out of her .

It ’s almost impossible to select a GIF to send her off with , and all manner of shout out GIFS have been go through . In the oddment I went with the following , because nothing allege Annalee Newitz to me so much as a hombre dress as a shark riding atop a robot .
