Stephen H. Segal has appeared at Dragon*Con in his role as senior editor of Weird Tales, the world’s oldest fantasy/horror/sci-fi magazine, and this year, he’s the editor and coauthor of a new book that he’s showcasing here: Geek Wisdom: The Sacred Teachings of Nerd Culture.

Of Geek Wisdom, Stephen says:

“It’s a sci-fi/fantasy-themed inspirational book, featuring 200 one-page philosophical musings based on the most beloved quotations from geeky films, books, tv shows, comics, etc. (“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” “So say we all.” “Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?” “I have been, and always shall be, your friend.” “Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.”) There are quotations and references from all our favorite things: Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, Marvel and DC Comics, Star Wars, Star Trek, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Dune, The Powerpuff Girls, ThinkGeek t-shirts…

“I’m incredibly proud to have been able to compile this testament to 21st-century nerdity. Several brilliant coauthors helped me create it, including Hugo- and Nebula-nominated novelist N.K. Jemisin (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms), steampunk novelist and blogger Genevieve Valentine (Mechanique), movie critic and political commentator, Zaki Hasan (The Huffington Post), and indie comics writer and journalist Eric San Juan (A Year of Hitchcock).”

Copies of Geek Wisdom will be available at the Missing Volume (614-615 in the Exhibitor Hall, Marriott Marquis Ballroom), and Stephen will be doing a reading from Geek Wisdom (with door prizes!) Sunday 1PM, Edgewood (Hyatt).
