Living Lost is a work of criticism, and is not affiliated with ABC or the creators of Lost.
Miracles, viruses, plane crashes and acts of terror perpetrated by a group of Others: This is the perplexing and radical world of the television show Lost. With wit and insight, J. Wood explores the show's strange engagement with the contemporary experiences of war, (mis)information, and terrorism, and argues for an idea as weird as the show itself: That we're all stuck on the island.
"In my humble opinion, the best Lost blogger is a bookish fellow by the name of J. Wood, author of Living Lost."
--Doc Jensen, Entertainment Weekly
