GEEK WISDOM: THE SACRED TEACHINGS OF NERD CULTURE
Book ID/图书代码： 11186016B87713
English Summary/英文概要： 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 极客们已经继承了地球。
电脑高手是我们行业的巨头；漫画超级英雄是我们的好莱坞偶像；互联网就是我们的夜生活。显然，极客们知道一些其他人不知道的有关21世纪生活的事情，而这些事情我们也可以从他们那里学到。本书收录了约200条最强大、最常被引用的引用自电影、电视、文学、游戏、科学、互联网等渠道的话语，由一群铁杆书呆子运用他们丰富的想象力煞费苦心地进行了一番全新的解读。这部由极客写成的关于极客、面向极客的短篇散文集思想之深刻出乎意料，值得每位读者细细品读。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：“一部充满智慧的作品。”——Wired.com
"本书向我们证明了，深刻的见地并非只来自落满灰尘的古老巨著或长眠多年的哲学家口中。也许 C-3P0 不是苏格拉底，超级英雄朋友也并非发国沙龙，但这并不意味着他们不能给我们以启迪。"——Suvudu.com
“这些文章简直是太棒了。”——Florida Times Union
"Very smart looking tome."—Wired.com
“Geek Wisdom proves that insight needn’t come from dusty old tomes and the lips of long-dead philosophers. Maybe C-3P0 isn’t Socrates and The Superfriends aren’t a French Salon, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to teach us.”—Suvudu.com
“Geek Wisdom: The Sacred Teaching of Nerd Culture is not only an invaluable guide into geekdom it’s also indispensable if you have to go undercover and penetrate a secret geek society.”—Neatorama.com
“Any good story, religious or not, can be deconstructed to find an underlying message. That’s the unifying theme of Geek Wisdom, which treats pop culture as a form of secular religion, delivering insights on life from talking robots, flying dragons and everything in between.”—PopMatters
“Premise is nothing short of brilliant.”—Florida Times Union
