Masters of Doom
I just wanted to share a great book I read called Masters of Doom by David Kushner. It’s the story of John Carmack and John Romero, the guys who founded id Software and created the landmark DOS game, DOOM.
I really enjoyed the rock star attitude of these punk kids who got rich doing what they loved. Also the dynamics between the two Johns and just the story of how Ideas from the Deep grew into id.
I’d recommend it to anyone who’s interested in computer games, the hacker ethic, or even pop culture. I ordered the print copy from Amazon.ca.
