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.
