geek, and Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher--gives us

Barefoot. With a true geek's unflinching honesty, Wil examines life,
love, the web, and the absurdities of Hollywood in these compelling
autobiographical narratives. chronicle a teen TV star's journey to
maturity and self-acceptance. Far from the usual celebrity tell-all,
Dancing Barefoot is a vivid account of one man's version of that
universal story, the search for self. If you've ever fallen in love,
wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a Star Trek convention, or
thought hard about the meaning of life, you'll find a kindred soul in
the pages of Dancing Barefoot. In the process of uncovering his true
geeky self, Wil Wheaton speaks to the inner geek in all of us.

Houses in Motion - Memories fill the emptiness left within a childhood home, and saying goodbye brings them to life.
Ready Or Not Here I Come - A game of hide-n-seek with the kids works as a time machine, taking Wil on a tour of the hiding and seeking of years gone by.
