Omschrijving
From The Matrix and Harry Potter to Stargate SG:1 and The X-Files, recent science fiction and fantasy offerings both reflect and produce a sense of the religious. This thoughtful volume examines this pop-culture spirituality, or 'postmodern sacred', showing how consumers use the symbols contained in explicitly ""unreal"" texts to gain a second-hand experience of transcendence and belief.
