Story
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

But upon arrival, Dax finds Nemi has changed over the years in terrifying ways...and the pursuit of the truth will plunge Dax headlong into a century’s worth of secrets and lies!

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Even a short walk outside to visit with others is no longer necessary. Just load into the network and you can be with anyone, anywhere. For Asher Reinhart, nothing compares to Ignis; a live reality show that pushes human beings to their very extremes.

The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

Ugh can’t get past the 1st chapter
- By Onyajay on 20-04-2020
Publisher's Summary
Celebrated actor, personality and all-around nerd Wil Wheaton updates his memoir of collected blog posts with all new material and annotations as he re-examines 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 grown-up. 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 three 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.

Wil Wheaton the must read geek
From the movies, tv shows, book narrations. Wil can be recognised from any and all.
Loved Wil in Stand by me and Toy soldiers.
Then found him again in b.b.t. and he hooked me in listening to Ready player one.
I found Still Just a Geek amazing.
Somethings I will never experience in my life like being a celebrity. Somethings I can say I have experienced, anxiety and depression.
This book is "cool" in how Wil expresses his telling of the stories.
The times I could feel the emotion where I want to throw a high five, give a supportive hug or a shoulder to cry on.
The day of listening flew. Some books take me a month to listen to. This I finished in 5 days.
Wil has delivered an epic read.

Autobiography of an amazing human being
Wil Wheaton has produced a masterpiece of personal tragedy, corage and growth. His brutal honesty and fantastic sense of humour is aided by his fantastic reading voice and raw emotion. 110% recommended. I'll listen again. And probably again.

Real, raw & relatable
This brought me to tears towards the end. I felt seen.
It's heavy. It's heartbreaking. It hits home. Even though my experiences in life have been skinned differently, the core aspects are still there. We're all human (unfortunately) and if more people could learn to treat others as such, the world would be a nicer and safer place. It's difficult enough to figure out who you are and build who you want to be, without people trying to control you, hurt you, and bring you down. So glad Wil found himself and the key people who helped him do so, like Anne (she's great all on her own too, I have so much love for her and I don't even know her personally).

Humans are complex creatures
This is a really touching insight into the prolonged troubles of an abused childhood actor. I want to preface this by saying I love Wil, love his work and I could honestly listen to him read out of a phone book, but so many of the annotations in this book are (often quite justifiable) apologies for offensive or inconsiderate things his past self has said, and yet he goes on to say other very dismissive, absolutist or inconsiderate things, such as saying all spirituality is utter hokum, which I'm sure many who base a lot of their life around it would be quite offended to hear, or dismissing the work of author Chuck Palaniuk as being the realm of teenage toxic masculinity, which is a horrendous oversight of the work of a talented and troubled author. It's just very odd that Wil can't seem to pick a lane here, which makes the constant apologies seem less sincere and just a bit confusing. Either way, this is well worth the read, I was so sorry to hear of the way his family treated him, and he deserves better. Still one of the dude's biggest fans, and his work on himself through introspection and great effort is commendable. I'm sure that journey isn't over.

A bit long and a bit too hard on himself
Will, mate, I’m glad you’re doing better.
There is a lot of self flagellation in this book and honestly it’s excessive. Everyone’s been a kid and young and dumb. You had a heap of extra pressure and abusive parents on top. I hope you can cut yourself more slack as you go forward.
A good story but a bit more editing down would have been worthwhile.

Funny, heartfelt and heartbreaking!
I’ve seen the Star Trek movies and enjoyed Discovery when it was still available on Netflix but I became a Star Trek TV fan quite late (watching all of TNG, Voyager etc. for the first time during the pandemic). As such, I was always aware that Wil Wheaton was on TNG but I knew him more from his stints on Eureka, The Guild, The Big Bang Theory etc. and especially as a writer of beautiful and funny essays and his board game playing on YouTube. I do not usually read autobiographies or memoir type books but having heard some of Wil’s essays gave the description for the audiobook a read and listened to the free excerpt and decided to give the audiobook a go. I am not disappointed at all! Wil gives a very earnest and heartfelt reading of this book and the annotations and additions to Just a Geek are insightful, funny, and sometimes heard to listen to. I was with Wil all the way from his recounting of stories of Stand by Me and TNG to his personal life and familial struggles and abuse. I highly recommend
this audiobook to anyone, not just the geeks!
