He still blogs, and now has an enormous following on social media with well over 3 million followers.

To be fair, he was only off by about 3 million people. He thought he was writing for an audience of one: himself. He wrote about his pets and his hobbies, punk rock and parenting, board games and birthdays and (most importantly) burritos. It was less about being a famous child than about being a not-so-famous grownup. After that, he wasn't sure who he was at all. Wil was a very famous kid - right up until he wasn't. But most of us don't do it in front of millions of people. Celebrated actor, personality, and all-around nerd Wil Wheaton updates his memoir of collected blog posts with all new material and annotations as he reexamines one of the most interesting lives in Hollywood and fandom!
