Hi Alexandra. I picked up The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth at my local library after doing a search on "Systems Theory." It seemed to be the most relevant and interesting title available. Does your mid-school-year experiment make use of Systems Theory in order to help the students (I haven't read that far yet)? Thanks! I am really enjoying the book so far, and I am so glad you told these students' stories!
Alexandra Robbins
Hi Boradicus! Thanks for the note. I have to admit, if the challenges I gave the students utilized Systems Theory, it was not a conscious decision on my part. When you finish the book, could you please let me know if any of the experiments would qualify? Now I'm intrigued!

Good evening Ms. Robbins, my name is Jimmeaha Mack and I am currently a junior in high school. I was wondering, after reading your book, "The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: Popularity, Quirk Theory and Why Outsiders Thrive After High School", how did you conduct your interviews? And is there any more advice you could give to someone just starting out with literary journalism?
