Phoenix on Fandom and Politics

A huge congratulations to Phoenix CS Andrews, whose book I Heart Politics: Why Fandom Explains What’s Really Going On has been acquired by Atlantic Books for publication in September 2022.

The synopsis reads: “From Brexit rallies to the Capitol Hill Riot and QAnon to Extinction Rebellion, I Heart Politics argues that to understand what’s really happening behind the headlines we need to think about one overlooked phenomenon: fandom. Taking readers on an irresistible adventure from the ancient world to the present, I Heart Politics is a surprising response to the zeitgeist and a brilliant illustration of how, when it comes to many of the most important and polarising issues of our time, we’re much less rational creatures than we’d like to believe.”

We’re chuffed for Phoenix, and look forward to reading!
