The Year of the Geek is a fascinating look into geek culture. Each day will tell a different story from the sci-fi universe, from famous franchises and figures such as Star Wars, The Matrix, Peter Jackson and Luc Besson, to lesser known stories, including the French cult classic City of Lost Children, the Japanese anime Akira and bestselling German novelist, Marcus Heitz. With text written by self-confessed geek James Clarke and accompanied by over 100 infographics that have been specially commissioned for this book, The Year of the Geek celebrates all things geek in a new and intriguing way.
I received an e-copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
5 Stars
This is exactly the sort of fun, nerdy coffee table book I LOVE. All the infographics were super well made, and super interesting.
Some were a little hard to read since I was reading this on Adobe Digital Editions, so I really want to buy a hardback.
If you’re into geeky, meta stuff about your fandoms, then this is for you!
