Book description
And the GEEKS shall inherit the earth!
Although it may not be good for their pasty white skin, Geeks these
days are enjoying a moment in the sun. From Pop Culture to High-Tech
Everything, Geeks rule and everybody else, well, drools.
Drawing on his own knowledge of being a geek for almost 30 years,
author Alex Langley provides essential advice for growth and survival
for the modern Geek, including the top five games to play on your
phone while listening to boring graduation speeches. There are also
quotes and anecdotes from classic Geek gods such as Bill Gates,
Sheldon Cooper, Felicia Day, "Weird" Al Yankovic and Dr.
Who, that inspire all geeks to embrace not only your iPhones and
Xboxes, but who you are.
Let's face it, sometimes being the smartest person in the room isn't
enough. And when it's not, The Geek Handbook can help. You'll
discover:
- Basics on social interaction, both online and
off.
- Fashion: just because you can wear socks and
sandals doesn't mean you should.
- Making friends,
making dinner, making babies.
- Warning signs your
appliances might secretly be plotting against you.
- Geeky
charities that give a +1 to your Light Side score.
- Geek
girls: tips on interacting with or becoming one of these
burgeoning beauties.
So get your Geek on, and keep it on
with
The Geek Handbook.
