In this 2014 WIRED classic, our very own Adam Rogers reports from a boat full of 'Sea Monkeys.' And it turns out, the nerds have a lot to teach us about life:
In the wild, that kind of person stood out and was victimized for it—like everyone who doesn't live at the top of the stochastic distribution. But then a weird thing happened. Somewhere let's say in the mid- to late 1980s, the overculture started seeking out nerds, geeks, wonks, whatever you called them, because they could do stuff that was starting to seem important. They needed us.
Result: The overculture started the process of absorption and commodification. Nerds became an economic bloc to be marketed to. And with some strategic improvements in visual-effects technologies, other people—snorks, as they're called here on ship—could come to appreciate the pop culture staples that had sustained us through the dark years. Now everyone is into geeky stuff. Now all the movies are superhero movies.
