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.

The authors in this volume demonstrate that Voegelin’s erudition on topics such as revolutionary change, ideological fervor, industrialization, globalism, and the place for reason and how it may be cultivated in complex time's remains as meaningful today as it was in the 1950s.
