Based on his 2018 book Nerding Out: How Pop Culture Ruined The Misfit (Business Weekly), author/filmmaker and pop culture historian Mathew Klickstein delves deeply into the ever-growing realm of so-called "nerd/geek culture" and its larger effects on contemporary society. Through dedicated research, incisive analysis, and robust conversations involving a diverse treasure trove of filmmakers, scholars, musicians, actors, scientists, authors/journalists, and general cultural gadabouts, Klickstein works to investigate just what it means to be both a nerd/geek and an outsider/misfit in today's rapidly changing world.
