Celebrate the release of a new book that dives deep into the pop culture phenomenon of Giant Robot. Author and Giant Robot founder, Eric Nakamura, will be joined by special guests and contributors to talk about the zines, stores, exhibitions, and more that redefined what it means to be Asian American.

 

About the book

Giant Robot: Thirty Years of Defining Asian-American Pop Culture  features the best of the magazine’s sixty-eight issue run alongside never-before-seen photographs, supplementary writing by long-term contributing journalist Claudine Ko, and tributes from now-famous fans including Margaret Cho, Daniel Wu, Randall Park, Peggy Oki, Takashi Murakami, Natasha Pickowicz, and Jia Tolentino.

Giant Robot: Thirty Years of Defining Asian-American Pop Culture  will be available for purchase at the JANM Store in October.
