A. D. Jameson is an author of both fiction and film criticism, as well as a teacher. He's interested in narrative, realism, fantasy, geek culture, and experimental writing, and recently earned his PhD in the Program for Writers at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

In I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing, Jameson takes geeks and non-geeks alike on a surprising and insightful journey through the science fiction, fantasy, and superhero franchises that now dominate pop culture. Jameson shines a new light on beloved classics, explaining the enormous love (and hate) they're capable of inspiring in fan and non-fan alike, while exploding misconceptions as to how and why they were made.
