amusing guide to technology inspired culture

Here is a hilarious excursion into a segment of contemporary culture. The book goes into the byways of numerous references to trends, fads and events of the last 30 years. Test your recall of your own experiences in these times. The Geek in the title refers to an emphasis on technology. While by no means all the pages are devoted to this, it certainly provides a constant theme. Thus, you can see the pathetically puny computers of the early 80s, lovingly depicted. Along with descriptions of key persons like Bill Gates. He looks so young in one photo! Within which is the backdrop of a computer room stuffed with clunky IBM PCs.
