While it doesn't have the technical details found in <em>Racing the Beam</em>, it does have a lot of insight into the minds of the designers and business men who started this great company.

The bit about Yar's revenge using the program itself to display the nutral zone was very cool. I liked though how the book talked as much about the environment (cultural, business practises) of the time as well as the technology. There's some interesting trivia here too: like Atari setting up different companies to avoid regulations.
