J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Geeks

very intriguing article in the Village Voice about Tolkien’s influence on geek-culture:

“If you feel that’s no particularly meaningful achievement, I understand. But maybe you could indulge me and imagine, just for a moment, that the fact that we live in a world increasingly made by geeks actually makes their collective imagination worth understanding.”
