Masters of Doom is an absolutely brilliant book that rekindled my interest in game development. I'd heard of Carmack before reading it, but this news is so much more impactful knowing just how integral he was to making gaming what it is today.

It is one of the few titles that hits the sweet spot of things like Pirates of Silicon Valley or The Social Network. It tells a gripping story of a successful underdog in tech that is accessible and entertaining. Kushner did a great job, though I wonder how much artistic license he took with the D&D campaign stuff.
