Together, they ruled big business. They transformed popular culture. And they provoked a national controversy. More than anything, they lived a unique and rollicking American Dream, escaping the broken homes of their youth to co-create the most notoriously successful game franchises in history—Doom and Quake—until the games they made tore them apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmericans spend more money on video games than on movie tickets. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMasters of Doom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the first book to chronicle this industry’s greatest story, written by one of the medium’s leading observers. David Kushner takes readers inside the rags-to-riches adventure of two rebellious entrepreneurs who came of age to shape a generation. The vivid portrait reveals why their games are so violent and why their immersion in their brilliantly designed fantasy worlds offered them solace. And it shows how they channeled their fury and imagination into products that are a formative influence on our culture, from MTV to the Internet to Columbine. This is a story of friendship and betrayal, commerce and artistry—a powerful and compassionate account of what it’s like to be young, driven, and wildly creative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e“To my taste, the greatest American myth of cosmogenesis features the maladjusted, antisocial, genius teenage boy who, in the insular laboratory of his own bedroom, invents the universe from scratch. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eMasters of Doom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e is a particularly inspired rendition.
