Together, the essays explore the relationship between the worlds and the media in which they appear as they examine imaginary worlds in literature, television, film, computer games, and theatre, with many existing across multiple media simultaneously. The book argues that the media incarnation of a world affects world structure and poses unique obstacles to the act of world-building. The worlds discussed include Nazar, Barsetshire, Skotopogonievsk, the Vorkosigan Universe, Grover's Corners, Gormenghast, Collinsport, Daventry, Dune, the \u003ci\u003eDeath Gate Cycle \u003c\/i\u003euniverse, Twin Peaks, and the \u003ci\u003eStar Trek \u003c\/i\u003egalaxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA follow-up to Mark J.
