This is an anthology of geek/nerd stories (lots of Jedis, Klingons and comics) by some of today's top YA authors. M.T. Anderson, Scott Westerfeld, David Levithan, Libba Bray, John Green plus others. Lisa Yee called it "A smorgasborg of nerdy delights." The title caught my eye, plus Holly Black is a local author and I liked her Spiderwick Chronicles. I checked this one out from the public library, because I am sorely lacking in appreciation of Star Wars and Star Trek and the short stories might allow me to see what I am missing. This one has definite boy appeal.
