Fantasy Explosion 2.0 is a bold and timely examination of how fantasy, once a tool for imagination and beauty, has evolved into a cultural force reshaping minds, values, and identities. From music and movies to video games, pornography, and digital influencers, this deeply researched work traces how modern media hijacks the imagination—often replacing truth with illusion, intimacy with escapism, and faith with distraction. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, cultural criticism, and decades of pastoral insight, Bob Maddux offers not only a prophetic diagnosis but also a redemptive path forward. This updated edition equips readers to reclaim their imagination, resist digital captivity, and cultivate a Christ-centered vision for creativity, clarity, and freedom
