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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085428416663,"sku":"9781472567635","price":16484.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472567635.webp?v=1767142822","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nerd-ecology-defending-the-earth-with-unpopular-culture-9781472567635","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
