Neal Stephenson - "We Are All Geeks Now."

he is an amazing and inspiring writer regardless

it seems like most great authors generally pay for that by lacking in oratory skills.

feels like more of a personal statement than a public speech.

he has put it brilliantly. score 1 for intellects around the globe

I just came D:

Me too.

Is it possible to be a broad knowledge geek? I mean I am not really an expert in anything but I know something of a very large cross section of non-related topics, all of which I find very interesting.

yes. my father is a genius when it comes to physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, carpentry, and design. he has his flaws, no doubt, but hes like Master Keaton.

Same here.

I've been thinking about this concept for a couple of years now, although I prefer nerd to geek as a term for individuals who are obessesed on a specific topic. I see a bright and interesting future if the world continues like this
