But there is a fair chunk that will probably fall out of popular knowledge fairly soon. As I noted, if you are a person who is in the correct age range (which it seems I am) then most of the references will be familiar to you. If you are in your twenties now? Maybe not so much. I really like this book, and that is why this bothers me, because I fear it will become less amusing for geeks in a few short years.Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-45286038899333269902011-12-22T12:24:07.042-05:002011-12-22T12:24:07.042-05:00Quantum Leap was a great TV series, but I don'...Quantum Leap was a great TV series, but I don't think too many people under 30 remember it. <br />I suppose to be truly recognized by the geek community, you have to stick with the main geek genres, like Star Trek, for instance, a television series that crosses generations.<br />But I'm betting that's in the book.Julia Barretthttp://juliarachelbarrett.netnoreply@blogger.com
