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 dontsomething we all can learn from. Geek Wisdom takes as gospel some 200 of the most powerful and oft-cited quotes from movies (Where were going, we dont need roads), television (Now we knowand 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 geeksbut its just so surprisingly profound, the rest of us would have to be dorks not to read it. So say we all. From the Hardcover edition.

Fun little book, full of well know (at least to Geeks) quotes and mini essays tied to the quotes discussing aspects of nerd culture. I've always been a nerd, reading science fiction or fantasy during study hall, more interested in the science fair than Friday night's football game and dance.

One of my All Time Favorite quotes. I feel like I say it every day, especially when the discussion turns to politics lol

"May the spirit of peace in which we came be reflected in the lives of all mankind" (inscription on Apollo 17's lunar landing module)

10 days of bed rest equals lots of reading time for this mama. #geekwisdom #geekery #newbooksmell #nerdcore #nerdsrule #nerdculture #sacredteachings #quotable #collector #yyjbooklovers #bookloversunite
