<p>‘Wil Wheaton is a geek who’s unafraid to sit at the keyboard and open a vein. There’s a lot of scorching honesty mixed in with these convulsively funny memoirs’<br />Cory Doctorow on JUST A GEEK</p>

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! Wil Wheaton grew up. Ideally, this is what everyone does. But most of us don’t do it in front of millions of people. Wil was a very famous kid – right up until he wasn’t. After that, he wasn’t sure who he was at all. So, in 2001, he started a blog. It was less about being a famous child than about being a not-so-famous grownup. He wrote about his pets and his hobbies, punk rock and parenting, board games and birthdays and (most importantly) burritos. He thought he was writing for an audience of one: himself. To be fair, he was only off by about 3 million people. In Still Just a Geek, an older, somewhat wiser Wil revisits Just a Geek, his 2004 collection of posts from that blog, with all-new reflections on nerd culture, fame, love, trauma, tragedy, and confronting the worst parts of yourself. Equal parts funny and poignant, Still Just a Geek explores the folly of youth and the pain of experience – and all the strange, awful, beautiful adventures in between.

Rediscover geek culture and fame in the groundbreaking 2022 memoir from Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory actor Wil Wheaton • Wil Wheaton has an enormous social media presence with a total of well over 3 million followers (Instagram: 1M, Twitter: 2.8M)!• He is quite simply, a nerd superstar, especially due to his roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation and as himself on The Big Bang Theory.• When Wil’s original memoir, Just a Geek, came out in 2001, it was put out by a small press and was really just a collection of his blog posts. It’s a different world now, and Wil has legions of fans devouring his blog and social media posts. In Still Just a Geek, in addition to Wil annotating all the previously published material, his more current posts will reveal his thoughts to a far greater extent as he brings his trademark wry sense of humour to bear on the material.• Wil is set to read the audiobook edition—the first time his memoir will be widely available as an audiobook. Wil's narration of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One was a #1 New York Times bestselling audiobook, and he has lent his voice to titles by John Scalzi, Randall Monroe, Andy Weir, and Joe Hill. He has a massive audiobook following.• We’re publishing in time for San Diego Comic Con 2021, a place where Wil is a fixture, and we can make a big splash with this new book.• We’re co-publishing with Harper Voyager US.
