On a message-board for fans of Spawn action figures/comics/etc, "punkg42" posts a gigantic, jaw-dropping gallery of his personal collection of action figures, videos and promotional tchotchkes, ranked in obsessive, neat display walls of mint-in-package glory. This person apparently owns a gigantic house in which practically every room is wallpapered with all the stuff that's not comics that they sell in comic book stores. The display is awe-inspiring and frightening, a graphic testimony to the compulsive need to collect and then display, like a 21st Century nerd equivalent of the Victorian mansion lined with hunting trophies.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
