Book Review: Terrible Nerd 66
tgeller writes "It's hard to believe that today's nerdier children will one day bore their grandkids with stories of primitive mobile access, household robotics, and 3-D printers.

As such, it's an entertaining read for technologists and non-techies alike." Keep reading for the rest of tgeller's review.
