Offensive and horribly wrong. Geeks and nerds doesn't have a strict correlation, rather causality. Many grammar errors (even noticed by a non native speaker. Perhaps I am too much of an geek myself.

The charts and graphics are either to be appreciated for non geeks or non überGeeks it seems. I rolled my eyes over most of the graphics because they were either old jokes or not funny at all. The curves are either too simplified or have no relevance and proposition whatsoever. Excluding the fact of missing references.

For example the color wheel (paragraph Wardrobe) from Newton has not the purpose of complementary colors. It was to show the blending of colors and the spectrum of a rainbow. The color theory states that artists such as Boulet or Goethe brought the conclusion from the light spectrum to the complementary colors. So I cringed over such wrongly delivered informations.

For a good book into geekdom I would recommend a rather funny one that doesn't drag everything trough the mudd and portrays geeks healthier. Sure there are the stereotypes out there but that has not to be the case for each and everyone of them.
