Where it came from
The Cult of LEGO, written by John Baichtal and Joe Meno, was published by No Starch Press in 2011 to document the vibrant subculture that had emerged around the LEGO building system. Created during a period when the brand was transitioning from a children's toy to a pervasive medium for adult artists and hobbyists, the book serves as a comprehensive chronicle of the fan community, covering everything from complex kinetic sculptures to elaborate MOCs (My Own Creations).
The book highlights the work of prominent community members and designers who pushed the boundaries of the plastic brick. By showcasing diverse projects, the authors sought to demonstrate how these materials became a legitimate artistic medium. It was well-received by the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community for its respectful portrayal of the technical skill and creative devotion involved in the hobby, acting as both an archive and a manifesto for the movement.
