Minecraft, The Book
If you read one book this year about green pixelated monsters that were originally supposed to be malformed pigs, make it Minecraft by Daniel Goldberg and Linus Larsson. This slim volume by two Swedish tech journalists tracks the creation of Minecraft from the bedroom of a quiet, driven programmer named Markus Persson to the ballroom of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas where thousands of dedicated fans rushed the stage to meet their hero in a fit of pure, reckless abandon. It's the story of a nerd made good and of how creativity and hard work meet to make something great. It is also a surprisingly human story about a boy who suffered and the man born of that sometimes sad crucible known as childhood.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Md5Ue1AMbZM/
