Still Just a Geek: An Annotated Memoir

ویل ویتون، بازیگر مشهور، شخصیت، و همه‌جانبه، خاطرات خود را از پست‌های وبلاگ جمع‌آوری‌شده با تمام مطالب جدید و حاشیه‌نویسی به‌روزرسانی می‌کند و یکی از جالب‌ترین زندگی‌های هالیوود و هواداران را دوباره بررسی می‌کند - و اکنون برای اولین بار به صورت صوتی، به روایت خود ویل!

از بازی در Stand by من برای ایفای نقش وسلی کراشر در Star Trek: The Next Generation برای ایفای نقش خودش، در دومین (سومین؟) نقش نمادین خود از Evil Wil Wheaton در تئوری بیگ بنگ، برای تبدیل شدن به یک ابرنواختر رسانه‌های اجتماعی، ویل ویتون مسیر شغلی خود را بر خلاف دیگران ترسیم کرده است و به عنوان یکی از محبوب‌ترین و قابل احترام‌ترین افراد ظاهر شده است. نام هایی در داستان های علمی تخیلی، فانتزی و فرهنگ پاپ.

در سال 2001، ویل شروع به وبلاگ نویسی در wilwheaton.net کرد. ویل با این باور که خودش قربانی نفرین این بازیگر کودک شده است، احساس می‌کرد که به مدار کنوانسیون سقوط کرده است و انتظار نداشت که بسیاری بخواهند درباره تجربیات تصادفی و فلسفه‌های شخصی او بخوانند.

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--and now for the first time in audio, narrated by Wil himself!

From starring in Stand by Me to playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation to playing himself, in his second (third?) iconic role of Evil Wil Wheaton in The Big Bang Theory, to becoming a social media supernova, Wil Wheaton has charted a career course unlike anyone else, and has emerged as one of the most popular and well respected names in science fiction, fantasy and pop culture.

Back in 2001, Wil began blogging on wilwheaton.net. Believing himself to have fallen victim to the curse of the child actor, Wil felt relegated to the convention circuit, and didn’t expect many would want to read about his random experiences and personal philosophies.

Yet, much to his surprise, people were reading. He still blogs, and now has an enormous following on social media with well over 3 million followers.

In Still Just a Geek, Wil revisits his 2004 collection of blog posts, Just a Geek, filled with insightful and often laugh-out-loud annotated comments, additional later writings, and all new material written for this publication. The result is an incredibly raw and honest memoir, in which Wil opens up about his life, about falling in love, about coming to grips with his past work, choices, and family, and finding fulfillment in the new phases of his career. From his times on the Enterprise to his struggles with depression to his starting a family and finding his passion--writing--Wil Wheaton is someone whose life is both a cautionary tale and a story of finding one’s true purpose that should resonate with fans and aspiring artists alike.
