Why read it?
1 author picked When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I’m wearing my uber-nerd hat, I enjoy Doctorow’s stories that are filled with cyber chat.
This story wonders what would happen if the world’s population was drastically reduced to a small collection of nerds. Would they be able to survive, or would they be unfit for life on Earth?

From Steve's list on help you love nerds.
