Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A witty, charming, and engaging dive into trivias colorful history, from Americas highestearning game show contestant of all time and host of Jeopardy!Insightful, informative, and written with a strong dose of humor and humility. . . . I loved this book.Will Shortz, crossword editor, The New York TimesKen Jennings is trivias undisputed kingand as he traces his rise from anonymous computer programmer to nerd folk icon, he explores his newly conquered kingdom: the world of trivia itself.Trivia, he has found, is centuries older than his childhood obsession with it. Whisking us from the coffeehouses of seventeenthcentury London to the Internet age, Jennings chronicles the ups and downs of the trivia fad: the quiz book explosion of the Jazz Age; the rise, fall, and rise again of TV quiz shows; the nostalgic campus trivia of the 1960s; and the 1980s, when Trivial Pursuit again made it fashionable to be a knowitall.Jennings also investigates the shadowy demimonde of todays trivia subculture, guiding us on a tour of trivia across America. He goes headtohead with the blowhards and diehards of the college quizbowl circuit, the slightly soused faithful of the Boston pub trivia scene, and the raucous participants in the annual Q&A marathon in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, The Worlds Largest Trivia Contest. And, of course, he takes us behind the scenes of his improbable 75game run on Jeopardy!But above all, Brainiac is a love letter to the useless fact. (Who knew that theres a crater on Venus named after Laura Ingalls Wilder? Ken Jennings, thats who.) Engaging and erudite, Brainiac is an irresistible celebration of nostalgia, curiosity, and geeky obsessionin a word, trivia.
