EASY TO LEARN DIFFICULT TO MASTER GN (C: 0-1-1)(W) Kushner, David (A) Shadmi, KorenBOLD TYPE BOOKSStockID: 51277 SKU: JUL221374A deep- nostalgic dive into the advent of gaming- Easy to Learn- Difficult to Master returns us to the emerging culture of Silicon Valley. At the center of this graphic history- dynamically drawn in colors inspired by old computer screens- is the epic feud that raged between Atari founder Nolan Bushnell and inventor Ralph Baer for the title of 'father of the video game.' While Baer developed the first TV video-game console and ping-pong game in the 1960s- Bushnell- a self-taught whiz kid from Utah- put out Atari's pioneering table-tennis arcade game- Pong- in 1972. Thus- a prolonged battle began over who truly spearheaded the multibillion-dollar gaming industry- and around it a sweeping narrative about invention- inspiration- and the seeds of digital revolution.This is a PRESALE.
