Nerds conquered the Earth when IBM enabled WW2 (including the Holocaust) using automation. Neither US nor German war efforts could have scaled to that degree without them. If you want to disagree with that example, I would also offer Star Wars, Star Trek, Steve Jobs, or the X-Men movies as examples of nerd culture becoming mainstream, dominant culture.
