Long ago was the time of the circus freak: the geek is now our future.
The term ‘geek’ was coined at the beginning of the 19th century in the US to signify circus freaks who terrorized children. Only since the 1950s has the term made its way into school playgrounds as labels for antisocial class mates; bookworms that are awkward with girls and good at maths. In the face of this adversity, the geek sought refuge in imaginary worlds, giving full vent to his passions: technology, science fiction, super heroes and robots… With the rise of pop culture and the computerization of the world, geeks are progressively finding themselves at the centre of things. From Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerburg, the geek has become a figure of financial and social success. For the first time in this superbly illustrated book, we are presented with the passions, the hates and the multi-faceted geek.
