Nostalgia is the antithesis of history. Anderson brilliantly
exposes how nostalgia — the strategic oversimplification of our
past — has erased complexity and friction from our country’s
narrative to serve a single goal: to preserve the status quo for
the benefit of those in power. As such, Evil Geniuses documents how
history and nostalgia are engaged in a hand to hand combat that may
determine our future.
