Tetris: The Games People Play by Box BrownMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tetris might be what brings you to read this book. It is about so much more though. The subtitle hints at the underlying subject of the book. Sure, the title game is sort of what launched video games as we know them. There are a lot of things that led up to the moment when it was developed and took a hold in our imaginations. Not surprisingly, Box Brown does a wonderful job digging into the history of the video game industry. The only real knock I have against this book is that it can drag a little bit at times. Getting through those moments is worth it though.
