The Sacred Teachings of Nerd Culture

Geek Wisdom

Fraser Simons

Wow. Got this as a gift a while back. Found it in a box the other day. It is very pretentious and off the mark. Basically construes pop culture references considered nerdy and recontextualize them based on his own world views, which are deeply privileged and seem to have foundation in moral absolutism. The first page has him digging on Paris Hilton because unlike Spider-Man, she doesn’t take responsibility for her actions.

Yeah, that’s a miss, for me.
