Really enjoyed the book as it talked as much about the environment (cultural, business practises) of the time as the technology as well as some interesting trivia - like Atari setting up different companies to avoid regulations. About the only thing missing I think was why it was the Atari came out on top, seems like it was mostly luck and many more resources. I'm looking forward to more books in the series.
