When Mark Zuckerberg, according to the legend told in The Social Network, closes in its accommodation of Harvard and create the most revolutionary of history (digital and otherwise) to all except that he could draw inspiration to Brian Wilson. Brian who? He, himself, the founder of the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson is the first example of a nerd when you picked up the essay by Benjamin Nugent, Natural history of the nerd, recently published by Isbn Edizioni (€ 19.90, you can buy it here).
The author of dozens of songs prefix "Surfin" is afraid of the sea and all the outbuildings on which he built a fortune, preferring rather to lose full days behind the arrangement of Pet Sounds, a song made using the bottles of Coca Cola as percussion. A geek through and through. Anne Beatts to twelve years was the first year of high school and on the iconography of the nerd, which she was, we built a team of character in the now famous National Lampoon's of Belushi, Aykroyd and his associates first, and then Saturday Night Life.
It was 1975 and people like Sergey Brin, Larry Page and nobody knew anything about Mark Zuckerberg (Zuckerberg was not even born the way). Part of examples of inquiry, Nugent, nerd with a passion for admission personnel fighting with fake lightsabers made from plastic pipes and duct tape, and it is precisely in this way that makes his essay "autobiographical" interesting, funny and not at all trivial and predictable, and the risk was high.
In fact Nugent is careful not to mention those names that are today more than ever on everyone's lips, if only because less than forty years have economic fortune worthy of a state of medium size. Analysis is not jealous its purpose. Besides, his is a very serious approach, a true nerd.
As detailed in the first pages. Mary Bennet, a character from Pride and Prejudice, 1813, Tibby in Howards End, 1910, Gussie Fink-Nottle, released from the pen of PG Wodehouse, 1934, but the Mery Shelley Victor Frankenstein are examples, rigorously justified, nerd ante Nugent shows that its time leaving the reader smiling and happy and a little nerdy.
Because, after being nerd does not take much, or is likely to be better for us just want to own. Of course, there would be rule 5 (the nerd been in love with complex activities, excluding physical involvement, sex, food, beauty, sport, do not use slang, they reason, too, they use technology very well) but there are many facets the common life that make all of us, at certain times in certain places, the perfect nerd.
This is the conclusion we reach page 231 if the offender has been finally abandoned the line of the test to raise your head and dream with his mouth open in front of another person (player) ignorant, just as would a nerd. The anthropological analysis of homo nerd, because there is one, is both thorough and self-evident, to those who stop to think about it after reading naturally.
After all, the nerd is the evolution of a certain type of education angolosassone first, then Japan, which sought a weapon to defend themselves against the risk of extinction of the white race in front of the obvious physical superiority of men of color. You had to be toned, and so was born the requirement of physical education in American schools.
And every time it is obvious that something must be born somewhere else born antimatter, rejection, refusal, be against: the nerd, to be exact. Clever example of apolitical anarchist, but at the end-all, first of all a-social. And then there is the birth of the first groups of dark nerds, gathered around the passions like science fiction, collecting, engineering, anything they understood by few, is also famous Long Tail has done and that is a godsend eBay and Amazon.
And, certainly, the anatomy of the nerd, but this imagery is known to all, from frame to Buddy Holly returned recently on the nose of everyone and all that in his time, he made a fortune, along with all the rest of the clothing of a certain Elvis Costello. A wise smooth, intelligent, sometimes rambled, but all in all to read.
