Containing 25 thought-provoking essays by the most heavily-cited
authority on LOST, Pearson Moore's LOST Humanity, University
Edition serves as a solid basis for discussion and analysis of the
21st century's most intellectually challenging television series.
With six new chapters, two of them never before published, this
volume represents the most complete distillation of Moore's ideas
regarding this fascinating cinematic adventure. Vibrant prose and
provocative concepts will keep you engaged through all 418 pages of
Moore's masterwork.
Moore believes the structure of LOST is undergirded by three
"nonlinear" elements: Disorientation, Metadrama, and Chaos Theory.
He penetrates the symbolic, literary, and metaphorical LOST
universe with in-depth analysis that never lets go, keeping you
immersed in the storytellers' world and delivering insightful
appreciation of the showrunners' rubrics and art. There's no filler
here. No interviews with actors or producers, no discussion of
hairdos or affairs. No weird theories. Just solid,
thoroughly-researched, piercing analysis by a thinker who digs deep
beneath the surface. You may feel exhausted after a chapter. You
may be shocked. You may become angry. But you will never be
bored.
The heart of the book begins with Chapter 13. It is here that
Moore begins his compelling analysis of LOST's complicated
structure. As he states in Chapter 17, "The Cork Stone," Moore does
not feel LOST represents postmodern thinking. His views are sure to
arouse controversy and will fuel many classroom debates. The core
of Moore's argument is the concept of the Strange Attractor, an
idea borrowed from chaos theory. It is here that Moore's analysis
shines, allowing a depth of understanding never before
achieved.
