Contrary to the previous review, where price is apparently the only criteria for worth, I found this text to be an amazing collection of essays that not only critically review but re-imagine approaches to one of the most culturally relevant sagas of the 1980's: the Back to the Future movies. The sheer variety of approaches--from philosophy and critical theory to pop culture, music and gender studies--makes this book worth the purchase price. As for the previous reviewer: geez... go get a library card.
