Why he might be annoying:

    His TV series 'The Works' flopped.
    His 'website' is just a blog.
    Except for his glasses, he looks and talks like Sheldon (Jim Parsons) from 'The Big Bang Theory.'
    He doesn't write short stories.
    No matter how you cut it, the man's a geek.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's brilliant!
    He's hilarious with a decidedly deadpan sense of humor.
    He has virtually created his own genre with his tongue in cheek science fiction novels.
    'Robopocalypse' and 'How to Build a Robot Army' have been turned into films, unheard of for so young a science fiction author.
    When asked why he's interested in robots he answered, 'robots are just cool as hell.'
    When he was little he admits to having had a crush on Tiffany Brissette from TV's 'Small Wonder.' Awww, that's so cute.
    As a serious scientist/roboticist, he designs houses to 'keep elderly people safe' with alarms, monitoring systems etc.
    FYI ladies, he's single!
