About this listen

 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.

I get the sense that people who describe the book as whiny and apologetic or entitled and woke have little understanding or empathy for the kind struggles described here. This says more about the commenter than the author whose writing is both introspective and self-reflecting in a way that more people should aid to be. I saw myself in-between the lines of the book and heard my voice told through the narration of the Author as he challenged old writings and established a new sense of self-worth and awareness throughout 'Still Just a Geek'. I wish for all to find the patience and kindness in themselves to not judge anyone with similar struggles just because you didn't experience them.

Heartfelt & funny, an emotional work, and an exceptionally written journey. I would probably added a tiny bit of reverb on the annotations, as it wasn't always clear which was the main text & what was annotation. But I followed just the same, and it was beautiful. Thank you Wil.

I've been a fan of Wil since TNG and didn't know a lot about him apart from his posts on social media.

I missed out on Just A Geek when it was first published as I wasn't really reading biographies back then but I'm glad I managed to catch this updated version.

I see a lot of myself in Wil. I'm a geek who was different from my family and pushed into doing things I didn't want to do and was made a scapegoat for my mum's failings as a person and a parent. Wil's blogs, social media posts, hell, the annotations in this book helped me see who I was and realise that I matter.

Wil, you probably won't read this but, thank you for your honesty.

Where's my Burrito?

I have to admit that some of the heavy editing in the first part of the book can be a bit off putting at times. Having said that, it was a nice trip down memory lane, and a chance for some new insight into Wil's life and mind.

Worthy revisitation of the original.

I found this book funny ...very raw and honest when Will Wheaton describes how his parents treated him ..the film set where they mistreated him and his sister and cried along with him when his aunt died, his narration was raw at times ,and had me in tears, I watched Will Wheaton as Wesley Crusher in Star Trek The Next Generation, and despite how he was treated in Hollywood e.g Rick Berman's appalling treatment of him,...... and the loving way he describes his "real family" as the Next Generation cast and how they treated him made me smile ...this book is definitely worth a read :)

Brilliant book definitely worth a read
