I found this book entertaining and surpisingly enlighting. It made me wonder why there arent as many she-geek sex symbols in the media as he-geeks. There should be more emphasis put on girl geeks like diablo cody or zooey deschanel. I love this book because it reassures all geeks to embrace that label with honor and broadcast it proudly.
