The Tetris Effect
It's one of the most well known video games ever, and in The Tetris Effect: The Game that Hypnotized the World the story surrounding the game's rise is just as fascinating as the game itself. The book investigates how a somewhat simple game created by Russian teen Alexey Pajitnov turned into a worldwide obsession that has remained relevant to this day. Filled with trivia and stories — like how executives from around the world competed to gain rights to Tetris — The Game that Hypnotized the World details how this cultural fixture has earned nearly $1 billion in sales to date.
