520    "Essays on intellect, passion, alienation, and America's 
       geeky subcultures. What happens when math nerds, band and 
       theater geeks, goths, sci-fi fanatics, Young Republican 
       debate poindexters, techies, Trekkies, D&D players, 
       wallflowers, bookworms, and RPG players grow up? And what 
       can they tell us about the life of the mind in the 
       contemporary United States? With recent years bringing us 
       phenomena from #GamerGate to The Big Bang Theory , it's 
       clear that nerds, policy wonks, and neoconservatives play 
       a major role in today's popular culture. The Year's Work 
       in Nerds, Wonks, and Neocons delves into subcultures of 
       intellectual history to explore their influence on 
       contemporary American intellectual life. Not limiting 
       themselves to describing how individuals are depicted, the
       authors consider the intellectual endeavors these 
       depictions have come to represent, exploring many models 
       and practices of learnedness, reflection, knowledge 
       production, and opinion in the contemporary world. As 
       teachers, researchers, and university scholars continue to
       struggle for mainstream visibility, this book illuminates 
       the other forms of intellectual excitement that have 
       emerged alongside them and found ways to survive and even 
       thrive in the face of dismissal or contempt."--|cProvided
