"[I]f there's one overriding theme to the geek corpus, it's that tales of the geek will almost always be tales of science -- of what science is doing to us, what it's turning us into. Much as God is always a presence, however peripheral, in the Hebrew Bible, so science rules the expanse of geek studies. That in itself is one reason geeks are getting so much attention: the impact of science on our lives is something we're endlessly anxious to understand."
