The Year of the Geek is a fascinating look into geek culture. Each day will tell a different story from the sci-fi universe, from famous franchises and figures such as Star Wars, The Matrix, Peter Jackson and Luc Besson, to lesser known stories, including the French cult classic City of Lost Children, the Japanese anime Akira and bestselling German novelist, Marcus Heitz. With text written by self-confessed geek James Clarke and accompanied by 100 infographics that have been specially commissioned for this book, The Year of the Geek celebrates all things geek in a new and intriguing way.

I didn't like some of the facts chosen - perhaps it was hard to find pure geekish facts for every day of the year, and I know everyone's connection with geek culture differs, but I was not interested in seeing so much about filmmakers and actors. I enjoyed reading about books, authors, gaming milestones, scientific achievements, and the like. On the other hand, looking up a special date to find that the day was when the fourth series of the television show Babylon V aired, or that this was the date that Fox Mulder joined the FBI, was a real sad trombone.
This would be a fun gift for the geek in your life, and a good coffee table book, able to be picked up and read in short bursts, or to use for conversation starters.
