Reboot Culture

The book explores the evolving concept of "reboot" since the 2005 release of Batman Begins, highlighting its expanded use beyond computer terminology into areas like politics, fashion, and media. It critiques the frequent misapplication and misunderstanding of the term in popular and academic discussions, where it is often confused with prequels, sequels, and adaptations. By examining these misinterpretations, the book seeks to clarify the narrative operations associated with reboots and their implications in various contexts.
