Listopia > Fun Fiction for Nerds

Imaginative content, innovative style: like that first cinematic experience that blew your socks off or the spiritually barefoot psychoactive journey into a favorite album that followed… This list-in-progress recognizes and considers a broad swathe of nerds from the STEMs and the humanities. Selections trend away from high fantasy, extreme romance and serious horror.
