Complete Geek: An Operating Manual

Amazon.com
This is one of the freshest and funniest looks at life in cyberspace yet. It offers many giggles as the narrator--Zeek, an intelligent piece of software created by the largely anonymous "Bill G.," richest geek in the world--searches cyberspace for the meaning of life--or at least what it is that makes geeks what they are. The result is a way to assess your own GQ (Geek Quotient). Meanwhile, Bill G. is making notes in his super-secret journal and being abducted by aliens who want him to help them create a software monopoly of their own. Along the way you'll visit the Geek Hall of Fame, learn GeekSpeak, and figure out if you're in Geek Denial.
