The Year of the Geek by James Clarke

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.

Stuffed with infographics and interesting tidbits of information and trivia, it gives readers something to be thankful for every day of the year* Kirkus Reviews *
...a fun book to peruse...could give you hours of intellectually engaging fun * The Genre Traveler *
