Description: "The gripping origin story of Pong, Atari, and the digital icons who defined the world of video games"--]cProvided by publisher.

Review Quotes: "In Easy to Learn, Difficult to Master, readers see the contested history of the rise of video games, specifically in the development of Pong... The beginnings of Silicon Valley culture are on display, and the authors smartly balance the highs and lows that continue in video-game-company culture to this day. The history is interspersed with a fun, Tron-esque game of Pong between Bushnell and Baer, and the artwork captures the old-school-gaming feel."--Booklist
