A cultural history of fandom’s rise to the mainstream
A. D. Jameson traces how science fiction, fantasy, and superhero fandom moved from subcultural margins into a central place in popular culture. Star Wars provides the book’s principal lens, alongside The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
