Whether your passion is clothes, comics, makeup, Doctor Who, or Magic the Gathering, we impassioned souls are nerds by definition. Yeah, we may be better dressed and more stylish than some stereotypical nerds on TV or in film, but who amongst us couldn’t have an impassioned discussion with personalities like those we see reflected in the CBS’ show, The Big Bang Theory?

If you don’t know Cory Doctorow’s name, don’t feel bad. I didn’t a month ago, either. That was, until I read, “Ready Player One,” for our review here at DGM.
