Exploring such works as \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e, Tolkien's \u003ci\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix, \u003c\/i\u003e Joss Whedon's \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFirefly\u003c\/i\u003e, the fiction of Thomas Pynchon, \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games, \u003c\/i\u003eand superhero comics such as \u003ci\u003eGreen Lantern\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eX-Men\u003c\/i\u003e, Anthony Lioi maps out the development of nerd culture and its intersections with the most fundamental ecocritical themes. In this way Lioi finds in the narratives of unpopular culture - narratives in which marginalised individuals and communities unite to save the planet - the building blocks of a new environmental politics in tune with the concerns of contemporary ecocritical theory and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Lioi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350066893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350066892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Anthony Lioi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47136424198399,"sku":"9781350066892","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3535d8c4-d927-46a6-bbb3-da36458e7908.jpg?v=1755023299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nerd-ecology-anthony-lioi-9781350066892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
