Just finished this for the second time. What other non-fiction

Thanks for the recommendation, anon. I knew this fella had written 'Jacked', all about the GTA series. But I checked Masters of Doom out and think I'll opt for that instead.
Sorry I can't be of any other help though!

>Jacked
ooh, something to fill the hole that Masters of Doom left. Would recommend MoD, even if you're only kind of familiar with the games, cause it's fun and a great period piece of an era that has no other treatment. Jacked is only available in hardcover though... fug.

Someone posted some excerpts from this book on /v/ once and it looks great, Carmack is an absolute madman

He sounds like an interesting man. Gonna read Ubik as my second book of his.

Very much. Even if you can't get into his earlier sci-fi, his last books (the christian phase) are very good.

Tracey Kidder's 'Soul of a New Machine' is the gold standard for not-fiction historical tech writing. Start there.

only MoD is great entrepreneur porn for indie devs, so even if you don't give a shit about video games specifically it's still a good story about a couple dudes with no degrees hacking their ass off and coming up with some successful shit, and when i say no degrees i mean no nothing, not "dropped out of harvard in the last semester" but "totally self taught"

Carmack is great, and his dynamic with Romero in this book is nothing short of fantastical. Seriously, Masters of Doom reads like a gripping fiction drama, but it's confirmed to be accurate by both Carmack and Romero, and other side-people like Tom Hall.

Underground by Suelette Dreyfus covers a similar era but hackers rather than game devs. You can find it legally online free I believe.
