You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
With Jane McGonigal, PhD
Compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist and former lonely homeschooled girl Felicia Day has achieved extraordinary success on her own “weird” terms. A tireless entertainment mogul, actress (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eureka, Supernatural) and “queen of the geeks,” she brings together fans of gaming and geek culture with a strong message: embracing individuality fuels creation, community and innovation on the Internet and beyond. She appears in conversation to celebrate the release of her memoir, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost).
Felicia Day overcame her isolated childhood to become “queen of the geeks.” While she has appeared on numerous mainstream television shows and films, she is best known for her work in the web video world, behind and in front of the camera. She co-starred in Joss Whedon’s Emmy Award-winning Internet musical, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, is the creator and star of the hit web series The Guild, and the founder of Geek & Sundry, an award-winning digital entertainment network with more than 1.4 million YouTube subscribers and more than 200 million views. She is active on social media, with over 2.3 million Twitter followers, and is the eighth most followed person on Goodreads, where she is also the founder of Vaginal Fantasy, a romance and fantasy book club with more than 13,000 members.
