LA Times Feature: “The 22 best spots to nerd out in LA”

Press
Written By Chynna Monforte

Once upon a time, being called a “nerd” was an insult. Now it feels like a badge of honor.

While it was once considered fringe to be a comic book or fantasy/sci-fi fan, today such works provide the backbone for many blockbuster juggernauts, prestige movies and television shows (I’m looking at you, “House of the Dragon”). Being a bookworm used to be considered a nerdy trait, but now Gen-Z and millennials are singlehandedly keeping libraries funded and making book clubs cool again. And then there’s the sheer breadth of the term: There are so many different topics and subcultures that one can nerd out about, from pop culture to gaming (both analog and digital) to space and history.
