- Summary:
- This is the true story of the Lennon and McCartney of video games: John Carmack and John Romero. Together, the "Two Johns" created an empire, ruled a multi-billion-dollar industry, and provoked a national controversy. They lived a unique and rollicking American Dream, escaping the broken homes of their youth to cocreate the most innovative and notoriously successful video games in history -- Doom and Quake -- until the games they made tore them apart.
