Robert M. Geraci

I'm an academic. Spent some years in NY. Now I'm off to Illinois, where I'll be the Knight Chair in the Study of Religion and Culture at Knox College. I write books about things I love, from robots to videogames to living in India. I'm interested in the toadstool circles, the ancient temples, the soaring cathedrals of our religious imagination. Likewise, the dark tunnels of mining and rapid transit. I visit mountains, deserts, temples, laboratories, factories, and virtual worlds, looking for the fantastic in all of them.

I believe that writing should be accessible and that readers should never want to curse authors for producing unintelligible drivel. I want my academic studies accessible and interesting to people who are not college professors, and I hope that my own work lives up to those standards.
