Masters of Doom is a fantastic book. I highly recommend it. I don't think there's really a book out there that follows the life and exploits of a great programmer like Carmack in so much detail.

I highly recommend the book as well. I consumed it by audiobook while driving. A great experience.

"The computer, it contained worlds."

Which is incidentally the exact same thing I have been saying to people when asked why I was so into computers as a kid.
