Utilizing the media--film, TV, YouTube, Twitter, fiction--that often defines daily lives, the contributors interrogate what it means to be labeled a \"nerd\" or \"geek.\" While the nerd\/geek that is so easily recognized now is assuredly a twenty-first century construct, an examination of the terms' history brings a greater understanding of their evolution. From sports to slasher films, \u003ci\u003eAge of the Geek\u003c\/i\u003e establishes a dialogue with texts as varied as the depictions of \"nerd\" or \"geek\" stereotypes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathryn E.
