Easy to learn, difficult to master

Pong, Atari, and the dawn of the video game
2022
"A deep, nostalgic dive into the advent of gaming [that] . . . returns us to the emerging culture of Silicon Valley. At the center of this graphic history . . . is the epic feud that raged between Atari founder Nolan Bushnell and inventor Ralph Baer for the title of 'father of the video game.' While Baer, a Jewish immigrant whose family fled Germany for America, developed the first TV video-game console and ping-pong game in the 1960s, Bushnell, a self-taught whiz kid from Utah, put out Atari's pioneering table-tennis arcade game, Pong, in 1972. Thus, a prolonged battle began over who truly spearheaded the multibillion-dollar gaming industry, and around it a sweeping narrative about invention, inspiration, and the seeds of digital revolution"--Provided by publisher.
