A New York Times bestseller!
Celebrated actor, personality, and all-around nerd, Wil Wheaton
updates his memoir of collected blog posts with all new material and
annotations as he reexamines one of the most interesting lives in
Hollywood and fandom--and now for the first time in audio, narrated by
Wil himself!
From starring in Stand by Me to playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek:
The Next Generation to playing himself, in his second (third?) iconic
role of Evil Wil Wheaton in The Big Bang Theory, to becoming a social
media supernova, Wil Wheaton has charted a career course unlike anyone
else, and has emerged as one of the most popular and well respected
names in science fiction, fantasy and pop culture.
Back in 2001, Wil began blogging on wilwheaton.net. Believing himself to
have fallen victim to the curse of the child actor, Wil felt relegated
to the convention circuit, and didn't expect many would want to read
about his random experiences and personal philosophies.
Yet, much to his surprise, people were reading. He still blogs, and now
has an enormous following on social media with well over 3 million
followers.
In Still Just a Geek, Wil revisits his 2004 collection of blog posts,
Just a Geek, filled with insightful and often laugh-out-loud annotated
comments, additional later writings, and all new material written for
this publication. The result is an incredibly raw and honest memoir, in
which Wil opens up about his life, about falling in love, about coming
to grips with his past work, choices, and family, and finding
fulfillment in the new phases of his career. From his times on the
Enterprise to his struggles with depression to his starting a family
and finding his passion--writing--Wil Wheaton is someone whose life is
both a cautionary tale and a story of finding one's true purpose that
should resonate with fans and aspiring artists alike.
