Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
Drawing on a wide range of examples from literature, comics, film,
television and digital media, Nerd Ecology is the first substantial
ecocritical study of nerd culture's engagement with environmental
issues. Exploring such works as Star Trek, Tolkien's Lord of the
Rings, The Matrix, Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Firefly, the fiction of Thomas Pynchon, The Hunger Games, and
superhero comics such as Green Lantern and X-Men, 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.
