LA Made Presents: Giant Robot

Join us at the Central Library as we 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 GR co-founder Martin Wong.

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.

Moderating this discussion will be George Chen, writer, event organizer, comedian, and actor in Los Angeles.

Those attending the program will have an opportunity to take home a free copy of the Giant Robot book.
