Lockwood is the only writer with both fiction and nonfiction works selected as 10 Best Books of the year by ''The New York Times''. At four years, she also holds the record for the shortest span between repeat appearances on the list.

''Kirkus Reviews'' has called her "our guide to moving beyond thinking of the internet as a thing apart from real lives and real art,” and ''Garden & Gun'': “goddess of the avant-garde.” Provided by Wikipedia
