The Minerva Sierra Challenge is a grueling spectacle, the cyborg's Tour de France. Rich thrill-seekers with corporate sponsorships, extensive support teams, and top-of-the-line exoskeletal and internal augmentations pit themselves against the elements in a day-long race across the Sierra Nevada. Marmeg Guinto doesn t have funding, and she doesn t have support. She cobbled her gear together from parts she found in rich people s garbage and spent the money her mother wanted her to use for nursing school to enter the race. But the Minerva Challenge is the only chance she has at a better life for herself and her younger brothers, and she s ready to risk it all."Runtime" is S. B. Divya's exciting science fiction debut.PRAISE FOR "RUNTIME" A thrilling romp through a gleaming cybernetic future that's neither dystopia nor utopia, but embedded in our reality I wish more science fiction were as exciting and relevant as "Runtime." Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award winner and author of "The Grace of Kings""S. B. Divya is a new light on the science fiction scene, a writer with the promise and talent to become one of our genre's stars. Have a read; she's a wonderful storyteller. Catherine Asaro, Nebula Award winning author."

Recent acquisitions! Have you read any of them? (I've read many of them, I'm just curious.) Lately it has been 1 book out, 10 books in. I was never good at math. 😝📚📚📚📚📚

I've got a #DiverseBooks rec for y'all today! This #SciFi novella written by a brilliant #SouthAsian woman, is about an event called The Minerva Sierra Challenge: a gruelling daylong race across the Sierra Nevadas consisting of top-of-the-line exoskeletal ships. Marmeg Guinto, too poor for fancy ships, cobbles together her gear from unique sources to participate for a super rare chance at a better life for her & her brothers. 🖤 #runtime #sbdivya

moranadatter Sounds fun! 7y

Sigh. I really wanted to like this one it's a great idea but while the plot worked perfectly for a novella, I wanted the world building of a novel so I just spent a lot of time thinking "wait, but what about...?" and then not getting answers.

3 pages in and I'm getting gender fluid Phillip K. Dick vibes! Should be fun ☺️ #scifi #cyborgs #novella

Mehso-so

A fun enough read and I appreciate that there were agender persons in the book but the one main agender character was kind of a villain? At least definitely an asshole. Kind of made me feel 😕

This gem is a quick but powerful read. The author shows us a potential, and somewhat unsettling, future where the ideal can only be achieved with surgical enhancements and implants. I hope we get more stories in this world!
