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 donâ€™tâ€”something we all can learn from. ,Geek Wisdom, takes as gospel some 200 of the most powerful and oft-cited quotes from movies (â€œWhere weâ€™re going, we donâ€™t need roadsâ€), television (â€œNow we knowâ€”and knowing is half the battleâ€), literature (â€œAll that is gold does not glitterâ€), 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 geeksâ€”but itâ€™s just so surprisingly profound, the rest of us would have to be dorks not to read it. So say we all.
