The Tetris Effect: The Game that Hypnotized the World by Dan Ackerman

3.0

I found the last few chapters about the power plays between all the publishers and ELORG (the Russian-owned entity that owns Tetris) the most interesting. A lot of backstabbing and behind-the-scenes dealings took place, and that made for an informative and entertaining read.

The biographies about all these people throughout the book gets a little confusing because there are a lot of people involved in releasing Tetris out to the world, but it was a surprise to learn about all these early artists/developers/corporate heads/engineers/scientists and their roles in Tetris's meteoric rise and impact.
