The creators of the popular website Black Nerd Problems, William Evans and Omar Holmon, present a vibrant collection of pop culture essays that offer witty and insightful commentary on topics ranging from Mario Kart to representation issues. This engaging anthology promises to “fill you with joy and give you hope for the future of geek culture,” as noted by Ernest Cline, the #1 New York Times bestselling author.When Evans and Holmon launched Black Nerd Problems, they were uncertain if their niche would resonate beyond their immediate circle. To their surprise, they discovered a vast community eager for fresh perspectives on nerd culture. Over the years, they have cultivated a dedicated fanbase that appreciates their unique cultural critiques, whether through humorous recaps of Game of Thrones or poignant essays exploring grief through stand-up comedy.
In this collection, the authors tackle a wide array of subjects, including X-Men and Breonna Taylor, with insight that is described as “alternately hilarious, thought-provoking, and passionate” by School Library Journal. Their work offers a much-needed critique of pop culture from the perspective of people of color, showcasing the importance of diverse voices in cultural discussions.
This anthology is not just entertaining; it serves as a “master class in how powerful—and fun—cultural criticism can be,” according to a starred review from Publishers Weekly. With their blend of humor and intellect, Evans and Holmon invite readers to reflect on the complexities of geek culture while celebrating its richness and diversity.
