Another take on 'Geek Culture in the Mainstream' @doctorow @amazonkindle

Cory Doctorow I often post about how Spec Fic, i.e., sci fi and fantasy and comics and nerds and geeks stuff, is becoming more mainstream, and is claiming a larger portion of the general public's money pie all the time.

Here's a post about the subject that offers up some proofs of the takeover, at least the culture side of it, if not the economic side of it.  Lots of good links, plus a very interesting and thought-provoking comment on the post ("Having access to geek knowledge does not make one a geek.")

Also mentioned in the post is The Rapture of the Nerds by Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross, and of course, Doctorow's novel Little Brother was the subject of The Handbook's Lesson #33.
