As a teenager Wheaton was a child star with an award winning film (Stand
by Me) and a cult series (Star Trek The Next Generation) in his
credits. At the height of his fame he left Star Trek to become a
"serious actor". Sadly things didn't quite work out and fifteen years
later Wheaton is an out of work actor struggling to pay the bills and
support a family while constantly grappling with the thought that maybe
quitting Star Trek wasn't such a good idea. This entertainingly honest
memoir details his struggles on the path to reinventing himself as a
writer and blogger. Indeed the memoir borrows heavily on entries from
his blog.
In addition to providing searingly honest
insights into Wheaton's own struggles the book is an important record of
an internet which may no longer exist. A time when geeks were still a
major force on the web and blogging was a route to fame an possibly even
fortune.
