The Nerds & Geeks series is a four-book set from 2016 that returns to the territory Thompson first explored in her popular Nerds series. The Geek Tycoon, Tender is the Nerd, It’s All Geek to Me, and A Nerd to Remember all feature heroes who are smarter than they are smooth, paired with women who appreciate brains over brawn.
Thompson clearly enjoys writing these characters, and the books have the same warm, comedic energy as the original Nerds series. The 2016 setting allows for updated takes on geek culture, with tech entrepreneurs and digital-age complications replacing the earlier books’ more general nerd-hero concepts.
