Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System by Ian Bogost, Nick Montfort

4.0

A great little tale of six Atari games (and many more are mentioned briefly). It's fairly technical, so if you're not a programmer you won't like it much, but if you are it's a really fun read. It doesn't have that ugly social science smell that 10 PRINT has, it digs into the tech quite a bit.
