This has been mentioned extensively before, and corroborated by other people. I think it's true. He had an old podcast he'd ask old time Apple II/PC developers about stuff they developed, and they'd be struggling to remember stuff that Romero knew every detail of. It's remarkable, and even a bit frustrating to listen. Also, about some stuff not mentioned in the book... I do think it gets light in details the further it goes, but you also need to read the disclaimer: there are people who asked not to be covered in the book and he respected that. There's one particular storyline that is never mentioned at all... to me it's very clear the person involved likely asked not to be mentioned because they've moved on. When one's writing from the first person, about friends and acquaintances, they have to be more polite than someone who's acting like a neutral observer, like in "Masters of Doom". |

who's that then, and what's the storyline?
