商品描述

Wil Wheaton has never been one to take the conventional path to success. Despite early stardom through his childhood role in the motion picture "Stand By Me", and growing up on television as Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The Next Generation", Wil left Hollywood in pursuit of happiness, purpose, and a viable means of paying the bills. In the oddest of places, Topeka, Kansas, Wil discovered that despite his claims to fame, he was at heart Just a Geek.

In this bestselling book, Wil shares his deeply personal and difficult journey to find himself. You'll understand the rigors, and joys, of Wil's rediscovering of himself, as he comes to terms with what it means to be famous, or, ironically, famous for once having been famous. Writing with honesty and disarming humanity, Wil touches on the frustrations associated with his acting career, his inability to distance himself from Ensign Crusher in the public's eyes, the launch of his incredibly successful web site, wilwheaton.net, and the joy he's found in writing. Through all of this, Wil shares the ups and downs he encountered along the journey, along with the support and love he discovered from his friends and family.

The stories in Just a Geek include:

  • Wil's plunge from teen star to struggling actor
  • Discovering the joys of HTML, blogging, Linux, and web design
  • The struggle between Wesley Crusher, Starfleet ensign, and Wil Wheaton, author and blogger
  • Gut-wrenching reactions to the 9-11 disaster
  • Moving tales of Wil's relationships with his wife, step-children, and extended family
  • The transition from a B-list actor to an A-list author

Wil Wheaton--celebrity, blogger, and geek--writes for the geek in all of us. Engaging, witty, and pleasantly self-deprecating, Just a Geek will surprise you and make you laugh.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

威爾·威頓(Wil Wheaton)從來不是一位走傳統成功之路的人。儘管他因在電影《伴我同行》(Stand By Me)中的童年角色而早早成名,並在電視劇《星際爭霸戰:下一代》(Star Trek: The Next Generation)中飾演韋斯利·克魯舍(Wesley Crusher)而成長,但威爾選擇離開好萊塢,追尋幸福、目標以及可行的生計方式。在最奇特的地方——堪薩斯州的托皮卡(Topeka, Kansas),威爾發現,儘管他有著名聲,內心深處他仍然只是個極客

在這本暢銷書中,威爾分享了他尋找自我的深刻而艱難的旅程。你將理解威爾重新發現自我的艱辛與快樂,當他面對成名的意義,或者諷刺地說,成名於曾經的成名。威爾以誠實和令人心安的人性寫作,觸及了他演藝生涯中的挫折、他無法在公眾眼中與恩賜·克魯舍(Ensign Crusher)保持距離的困境、他成功啟動的網站 wilwheaton.net,以及他在寫作中找到的快樂。在這一切中,威爾分享了他在旅程中遇到的起伏,以及他從朋友和家人那裡獲得的支持和愛。

極客中的故事包括:

- 威爾從青少年明星到掙扎中的演員的沉淪
- 發現 HTML、部落格、Linux 和網頁設計的樂趣
- 韋斯利·克魯舍(Starfleet ensign)與威爾·威頓(作者和部落客)之間的掙扎
- 對 9-11 災難的撕心裂肺的反應
- 威爾與妻子、繼子女及擴展家庭的感人故事
- 從 B 級演員轉型為 A 級作者的過程

威爾·威頓——名人、部落客和極客——為我們心中的極客而寫。引人入勝、機智且自嘲的極客將會讓你驚喜並發笑。
