Geek Wisdom: The Sacred Teachings of Nerd Culture

THE GEEKS HAVE INHERITED THE EARTH.Computer nerds are our titans of industry; comic-book superheroes are our Hollywood idols; the Internet is our night on the town. Clearly, geeks know something about life in the 21st century that other folks don&;t&;something we all can learn from. Geek Wisdom takes as gospel some 200 of the most powerful and oft-cited quotes from movies (&;Where we&;re going, we don&;t need roads&;), television (&;Now we know&;and knowing is half the battle&;), literature (&;All that is gold does not glitter&;), games, science, the Internet, and more. Now these beloved pearls of modern-day culture have been painstakingly interpreted by a diverse team of hardcore nerds with their imaginations turned up to 11. Yes, this collection of mini-essays is by, for, and about geeks&;but it&;s just so surprisingly profound, the rest of us would have to be dorks not to read it. So say we all.
