What gaming books do you recommend? (lemmy.world)

As an avid midlife gamer with nostalgic interest in gaming history I enjoy reading gaming books.

In this picture you can see the gaming books I own. My favorite is "Masters of Doom" followed by "The Ultimate History of Video Games" (I am aware there is a second volume).

I would like to hear more recommendations from you.

P. S: Note that PC gaming is my thing therefore it is highly unlikely that I will get a book about consoles or console games.

If you enjoy science fiction, Ready Player One is super great. Do not judge it based off the movie. Quite different plots. Do skip Ready Player Two though.

Came here to recommend RPO, myself. It's an absolutely fantastic book. It's loaded with tons of 80s/90s music, gaming, and pop culture references, and is just so damn fun.
