One of the best non-fiction comics I've ever read. Brown's main story is the invention of Tetris, which was born in 1984 in Soviet Russia. The inventor was Alexey Pajitnov, a software developer, and his creation was too addictive to be kept behind the Iron Curtain for long. As soon as Tetris was released into the world every game company- Nintendo, Atari, Sega- wanted it. Brown takes some side detours in the development of games over time and the early maneuvering of the foundational game companies as they each vied for the bulk of the market. This book is a fascinating page-turner, a masterpiece.
