THE FANGIRL’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY: A HANDBOOK FOR GEEK GIRLS
Book ID/图书代码： 11186014B72739
English Summary/英文概要： This fun and feminist girl-power guide to the geek galaxy gives lady nerds the lowdown on everything from fanfic to cosplay to attending your first con.Fanfic, cosplay, cons, books, memes, podcasts, vlogs, OTPs and RPGs and MMOs and more--it’s never been a better time to be a girl geek. The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy is the ultimate handbook for ladies living the nerdy life, a fun and feminist take on the often male-dominated world of geekdom. Author Sam Maggs brings some serious geek cred to guide readers through the in(ternets) and outs of geek culture, with tips,
playthroughs, and cheat codes for everything from starting an online fan community to planning a convention visit to supporting fellow female geeks in the wild. With useful sidebars and never-before-seen interviews with geek girl icons like Felicia Day and Tamora Pierce, this book is loaded with interesting, unexpected and hard-to-find facts, all
in the common language of nerdery. Best of all, the author takes a stand for geek girl empowerment, urging girls to let their freak flags fly and stand up for themselves when haters gonna hate, with chapters like "Support ALL the Ladies! Why Feminism in the Nerd World is Key" and "The Fake Geek Girl is Here to Destroy Everything You
Love--LOL JK She Doesn’t Exist." The Fangirl’s Handbook is, at its heart, a celebration--of obsessing over fictional characters, finding the tribe that shares your "ships" and "feels," rooting on other ladies to kick butt and take names, and doing it all with pride.
The book covers all facets of geekdom--from video games to Game of Thrones, any geek girl can find something she relates to.
A good potential followup/companion to Geek’s Guide to Dating, balancing out its male-centric advice with girl power
Excellent design à la Geek’s Guide; this book will be a real keepsake for the geek girl’s bookshelf.
For fandom n00bs, the entrance into this brave new world can be overwhelming. Maggs breaks down the process and gently guides you into
a land you’ll never want to leave.
Too often girls are told to keep quiet and calm and not to express their passion for geeky things. This book is the opposite--a high-spirited call to arms that’s the first of its kind. The author’s not going to shy away from the f-word--feminism--either.
Excellent author platform in the geek community: weekend editor at Geekosystem, regular contributor to the Mary Sue, and has had writing in
many, many internet outlets including The AV Club, Mashable, Gizmodo, and Digg.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本有趣和女权主义的针对极客银河的指南为女性书呆子带来了一切事情的真相，从入迷到角色扮演到参加你的第一个反对集会。
狂热，角色扮演，骗局，书籍，模因，播客，视频博客，OTPS，RPG和MMOs游戏等等——从来没有比这更好的时机来成为一个女孩极客了。《银河系脑残粉指南》是生活呆板的女士们的终极手册，是在极客族经常由男性主导的世界里的一个有趣的和女权主义的指南。作者山姆??梅格斯带来了一些资深玩家的经验来引导读者在极客文化中穿梭，来自网上粉碎机社区的提示，保持不败和作弊代码，来为支持野外的女性极客规划一个常规访问。有用的侧边栏和从未见过的像费利西亚和塔摩拉??皮尔斯这样的极客女孩偶像的访谈，这本书充满了有趣的，意想不到的和难以找到的事实，并且所有内容都以蠢瓜似的语言写就。最重要的是，作者支持极客女孩的权利，敦促女孩让她们奇想的旗帜飘扬以及当怀恨在心者厌恶时要为自己站起来，比如这样的章节“支持所有的女士！为什么在书呆子世界女权主义是关键”和“虚假的极客女孩会破坏你所爱的一切——LOL JK根本就不存在”。《脑残粉手册》击中了它的心脏，这是一个庆祝——沉迷于虚构的人物，发现分享你的“船”和“感觉“的部落，踢走其他女士并替换名字为自己扎根，带着骄傲做这一切。
本书涵盖了所有方面的科技人员——从视频游戏到权力游戏，任何极客女孩都能找到与她相关的东西。
一个很好的对过时的极客指南的潜在增援/同伴，用女孩的力量平衡以男性为中心的建议
优秀设计的《极客指南》；这本书将是极客女孩书架上的一个真正的纪念品。
对于粉丝圈来说，进入这个勇敢的新世界是无法抗拒的。梅格斯分解了过程并温和地引导你进入一个你不会想离开的世界。
太多的女孩被告知要保持安静和平静，不要表达出她们对极客事情的热情。这本书是相反的——一种对先河的昂扬召唤。作者不会因为害羞而远离粗话或女性主义。
极客社区的优秀作者平台： Geekosystem的周末编辑，Mary Sue的定期撰稿人，还有许多许多写在互联网媒体上的，包括AV俱乐部，Mashable，Gizmodo和Digg。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：This a a fun, surface-y, and well-illustrated book. With a little cruising and skimming you could probably polish it off in 30 minutes. This is not a bad thing! There’s a lot of basic information in here, perfect for a tween or teen who is ready to expose herself to different flavors of nerd culture. And those who are ready to move into deeper levels of geek, there’s a lot of practical information about cons, cosplay, and media.
The big question with a fairly brief book like this is -- does it have to be a book or would it function better online? In this instance, I wholeheartedly feel that this is a book. It is well-designed, punchy, and satisfying in this format. It is engineered for quick access to different sorts of info. It is leaf-throughable. It will happily sit on the foot of someone’s bed for months and be picked up and referred to in a haphazard fashion dozens of time. So, yea, a book not a site.
