Spoken like an illiterate who never read a book. You might make the case that Jules Verne was a lightweight, but hardly a nerd. And H.G. Wells was neither. Even Mark Twain once wrote a sci-fi story. But then, I’m probably betraying my own dorkiness by admitting that I’m actually aware that there’s such a thing as literature.
