Rated Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow 10/10

Favourite book of my year: wonderful. <br/><br/>I loved the characters. I've loved the story telling. I loved the passion around work. I loved the love between the characters. <br/><br/>Crossing multiple decades but the crux takes place during the height of 1990s PC gaming. i.e. shortly after Doom - and our characters are games makers. <br/><br/>Though the weaving part is their company that makes games, I wouldn't call this a "gamer's book". I'm certainly not a gamer by their measure, but the story put into their game design and the love they have is infectious.<br/><br/>The book left me genuinely inspired. The character _Marx_ makes me want to be more like him. He has purpose in helping others without being a martyr.<br/><br/>What's more, the book left me wanting to **make**. I love that hungry creative feeling (even if it's slightly dampened by having _too_ many projects!).<br/><br/>Loved it. Strong recommend.
