A pretty good book as far as it goes. But like most of these books, it doesn't go far enough. Okay, so people like Einstein, Bill Gates, & Steven Spielberg were picked-on, unpopular "geeks" or "nerds" in school, but woweee, look at 'em now; they made it big, boy howdy! But for every Einstein, Gates, & Spielberg, there are hundreds of thousands of unpopular, picked-on, "geeky, nerdy" kids who don't ever "inherit the earth" by making it big & never will because they're either not quite as talented or as much of a genius or had as many lucky breaks as those guys also did. So no, sorry, but most "geeks" are most definitely *not* going to "inherit the earth." (Especially after the oil runs out; then we'll be thrown back into the stone ages/hunter-gatherer lifestyle where your successfully-physical types such as jocks, cheerleaders, etc. will rule for sure. Heck they still mostly rule the world anyway; most of us don't get to work at Google, Microsoft, or a theatre/museum [or some other artsy place].) Nope, most of us end up working at places where the bosses are mostly former jocks/cheerleaders or your co-workers are former jocks/cheerleaders who know how to manipulate the boss & get away with whatever. So life for most of us is junior/high school forever, unfortunately.
