Luke Skywalker Can't Read And Other Geeky Truths
A smart, funny, and provocative dish on sci-fi and pop culture topics, which range from why robots are so passé to how everyone in the Star Wars universe is illiterate.
"Ryan Britt is . . . the Virgil you want to guide you through the inferno of geekery." --Lev Grossman, author of the bestselling Magician's trilogy
Publishing to coincide with the release of the new Star Wars movie in late 2015, Luke Skywalker Can't Read is a thoughtful and fun meditation on everything geek. Writer and performer Ryan Britt has never met a monster, alien, wizard, or superhero that didn't need further analysis. Alternating between hilarious personal anecdotes and provocative insights, Britt explains everything: why monster movies are just romantic comedies with commitment issues; how Dracula's sartorial style designates him as the first hipster, and much, much more. Like Chuck Klosterman and Rob Sheffield, Britt is tearing down the wall between hardcore geek culture and the mainstream.
