SynopsisMuch like a dragon-guarded mountain filled with stolen dwarf gold, Pop Culture is far more than just a side quest or afternoon's entertainment: it contains a veritable treasure trove overflowing with life lessons. If there's one takeaway from more than 40 years of Scooby-Doo mysteries, it's that the vast majority of life's villains are old white men using literal scare tactics to hold on to whatever privilege they have; Stranger Things taught us that any group of bike-riding kids are either running from or toward a vast governmental conspiracy; The Wizard of Oz proved that fashion can only take you so far; The Lord of the Rings showed us not only about the power of statement jewelry but that gifts come with strings attached; and Jaws was evidence that no matter how prepared you think you are, you should always expect the unexpected. This modern-day fable takes the best elements of My Dinner With Andre , The Big Bang Theory , and How to Make Friends and Influence People , to tell the story of three cosplaying friends sharing what they have learned from their favorite (and hated) movies, series, and games in a cafe after a day of walking the halls of a convention center. Live Like a Vulcan, Love Like a Wookiee, Laugh Like a Hobbit invites readers to a never-before-seen and slightly skewed look at the most memorable moments in films, shows, books, comic books, graphic novels, and video games. By the end of this pop-culture tour, fans of all ages will be given more inside knowledge than could ever be gotten at a comic convention, more self-help tools than can fit into any utility belt, more treasures than can be found in a cave of wonders, and more smiles than can be seen on any joker's face., Live Like a Vulcan, Love Like a Wookiee, Laugh Like a Hobbit is a modern-day fable about cosplayers who assemble for a deep dive into life, love, and what they watched. Because as any fan knows, much like a dragon-guarded mountain filled with stolen dwarf gold, pop culture is overflowing with life lessons. Scooby-Doo taught generations of cartoon watchers that life's real monsters are people; Stranger Things proves that any group of bike-riding kids are either running from or toward a vast conspiracy; and Jaws was evidence that you're going to need a bigger boat. Live Like a Vulcan, Love Like a Wookiee, Laugh Like a Hobbit invites readers to pull up a seat and beam down into a slightly skewed and reference-rich look at the most notable aspects of pop culture fandom, as well as memorable moments in films, shows, books, comics, and video games, including: Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Princess Bride, Avengers, Justice League, Alien, Halo, and more. Filled with more self-help tools than can fit into any utility belt, and more smiles than can be seen on any joker's face, Live Like a Vulcan, Love Like a Wookiee, Laugh Like a Hobbit is the book any fan is searching for.
