A fantastic set of essays that reflect on fandom, geek culture, and various other topics. I would love to sit down with Ryan Britt, have a beer, and totally fangirl out on The Force Awakens, as this was published right before the movie was released.

My favorite essays were the Star Wars specific ones (obviously), especially the essay from the title regarding literacy in Sci-Fi and Fantasy worlds. However, after finishing this book I did re-watch Return of the Jedi and noticed Luke Skywalker communicating with R2-D2 via text on a screen in his X-Wing, giving me fodder to disagree a bit....

I also enjoyed the audiobook, although it was not narrated by the author.
