Black Nerd Problems: Essays

A sharp, hilarious essay collection from the creators of Black Nerd Problems, this pop culture manifesto celebrates fandom and representation through a bold Black perspective that “will fill you with joy and give you hope for the future of geek culture” (Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

When William Evans and Omar Holmon launched Black Nerd Problems, they set out to create a space for thoughtful, funny conversations about comics, gaming, television, and science fiction from the point of view of people of color. What began as a small corner of the internet quickly grew into a vibrant community hungry for fresh takes on everything from Mario Kart and Game of Thrones to X-Men and superhero blockbusters. In this energetic collection of cultural criticism and personal essays, Evans and Holmon tackle representation in media, the politics of fandom, grief and masculinity, internet culture, and the evolving landscape of geek identity. Whether breaking down blockbuster franchises or examining real-world events through a nerd lens, they blend humor, insight, and unapologetic honesty. Smart, irreverent, and deeply thoughtful, this book offers a powerful and entertaining look at modern geek culture—and who gets to belong in it.
