I'll be honest, the book is probably not crunchy as I would have liked it. More insight into Carmack and company's technical feats would have been ideal. But the nostalgia factor–I was one of the nerds downloading shareware releases of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom–and Wil Wheaton's excellent narration of the audiobook made this such a compelling book.

As an aside, I can't help but shake the notion that Kushner was extremely kind to both John's. It's not really a case of who's the better person as it seems success destroyed any chance either had for being
satisfied.
