Description
Millennial nerds and Gen Z nerds don’t know how good they’ve got it, with more Star Wars and Star Trek movies and TV series than they can count. It wasn’t always this easy to be a nerd! This memoir from a decorated veteran details the glory days of nerd-dom, when all we had was bad TV sci-fi and only the occasional silver screen gem, just after the first great in-print sci-fi works had awakened us all to new possibilities. This warm-hearted history maps the transition of nerd culture from fringe to mainstream, with shout-outs to fanboys and fangirls of all ages.
