It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Austrian artist and filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner tries to answer this question in his documentary Traceroute. It is a journey back in time (to the 1970s and 1980s) – and a trek across the USA, featuring interviews with many dedicated geeks about their worldview(s).I would summarize Traceroute as a funny road movie and insightful commentary about covert culture, subversive science and fringe art.You want to understand what's going on our planet? Nerds are the key...

I saw Traceroute as part of a lecture series about 'gender and tech.' I was skeptical first, but Johannes's approach is very compelling. His way of criticizing and questioning white male nerd culture (including himself) is spot on. Johannes is a political and artistic activist, and never forgets his agenda: societal change. The film presents a plethora of interesting debates and features exceptional people, and many interviewees are women/transgender (like Kit Stubbs and Sandy Stone).

I'm a musician, and there is one thing I absolutely HATE: careless, sloppy, unsystematic soundtracks, especially in documentary films. I know that it's hard to discover good music, but: COME ON! If it's true, Traceroute had a *total* budget of $15,000. There are no excuses anymore!A great soundtrack is more than just a collection of great songs. A great soundtrack pulls a story along while somehow effortlessly blending into the background. The right one can help define a movie; a terrible one can ruin an otherwise decent film.Traceroute relies heavily on its amazing soundtrack to convey the mood of childhood and rebellion, nostalgia and counter-culture, traveling and arriving. There's a retro-electronic vibe present in most of the tracks, but also classical music, and all-time favorites like Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again.'I'm glad the track list is here on IMDb. I need it for my own road trips!

usually nerds are introverts and it's hard to learn anything about them or their passions as long as you're not sharing them. not so Johannes. He might be the most extrovert nerd you can find. so much that he even produced a movie about himself including all the icons of his nerdiverse.i'd like to see more. i think this should be seen as the pilot for some series ... at least i hope so.
