Δεν υπάρχειο πιστός Lost φαν που να μην ξέρει τον DocArzt. O διασημότερος blogger έκανε την ανάλυση της μυθολογίας του Lost επιστήμη, εξασφάλισε σταθερή γραμμή επικοινωνίας με του δημιουργούς της σειράς και έγινε σημείο αναφοράς για όλα τα σχετικά blogs και sites. Τώρα έγραψε και βιβλίο, με τίτλο Lost ate my life! (Το Lost μου έφαγε τη ζωή) Είναι διαθέσιμο για προ-παραγγελία στο Amazon. Ακολουθεί μια σύντομη περιγραφή.

«Lost Ate my Life!» is not the authors’ self-referential statement. Instead, it is the collective cry of the hardened fan base for ABC’s pop-culture phenomenon. The book has two central ideas: first, that the creators of Lost created a shift in the thinking of online communities, effectively removing the barrier between the artists and the patrons by hosting one of the largest officially sponsored independent discussion forums in history. Lost bloggers became important celebrities amongst the fan bases, some fans found themselves drawn into the inner circle, and the network began making decisions based on ebb and flow of fan sentiment.

Interwoven with the story of the fandom is the examination of Lost‘s story itself: its archetypal themes, and its evolution from bordering on the high-concept ‘cash in’ it was intended to be, to the high art mixture of philosophy, drama, redemption, science, and faith. What is it in the formula of Lost that speaks to our collective unconscious so well that millions of fans are easily able to endure such mammoth leaps of suspension-of-disbelief?
