Covers the story of the id Software founders, centering on John Carmack and John Romero. The book has been mentioned in several threads, but there isn't a thread on it here. It had been on my book list for a while, then Tenks reminded me about it in the Romero Kickstarter thread. So I ordered it and read it.
Some thoughts:
- Carmack is definitely on the spectrum. Spergy as fuck.
- Romero IS a douchebag, but the book made him a more empathetic douchebag.
- Their journey to innovate PC games was pretty amazing.
- It would have been ungodly irritating to work with them.
