There is a such thing as a geek dreamboat, and Fred Flare has a [book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche) documenting every aspect of the nerds that get you hot. ‘Geeky Dreamboats: A Celebration’ is a hilarious overview of every dweeby dude that you would ever want to double-take.

Featured geeks include Michael Cera, Daniel Radcliffe and the Jonas Brothers. Each nerd has a [fact sheet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/techbro-handbook) which includes random info about them, a ‘Why We Love Them’ paragraph as well as a ‘Geekboat Meter’ that rates them on how geeky they actually are.

Geek has never been so chic.
