When Nerds Attack: Prince of Dorkness Rod Ferrell

Fantasy is part of being human. Sometimes we all need to tell
ourselves stories, escape from the ordinary everyday. We spend
luxurious amounts of time and money on this--in daydreams, books,
movies, games, music—it’s something both quintessentially human and
tantalizingly magical to give ourselves over to fantasy. And most
of us have no trouble knowing where to stop. For those of us who
haven’t figured that out, though, things can get sticky. Our real
lives, real responsibilities, real relationships can begin to
recede into the background. The things that once mattered most can
start to pale in comparison to the fairy tale we’ve woven. The
people who love us can start to seem like people in a story, people
in a dream. And as Shakespeare once put it, that way lies madness.
We’re about to tell you a story about a group of people who fell
into this trap. Some of them never got out again.
