""Dosser's accessible and informed analysis exposes the affective politics of reactionary nostalgia in fandom. Through case studies drawn from literary, film, and video game culture, Dosser shows that we can better understand the nature of right-wing backlashes against progressive speculative fiction by interrogating how these movements organize around shared emotions."" --Jordan Carroll ""author of Speculative Whiteness: Science Fiction and the Alt-Right"" ""If you've ever read racist and sexist comments on a fan forum dedicated to your favorite comic book or listened to a YouTuber rant and rave about wokeness in Hollywood and wondered 'how did we get here?', this book is for you. Nostalgic Futures is a must-read explanation of how nostalgic fandom just might be the key to understanding what fuels reactionary political movements."" --Megan Condis ""author of Gaming Masculinity: Trolls, Fake Geeks, and the Gendered Battle for Online Culture""
