Product Details
- The incredible tale of a little game that shook the international gaming world--now with new material including a behind-the-scenes look at the sale to Microsoft.For this second edition, the story has been enriched with more Minecraft than ever--a new section describes Minecraft's sale to Microsoft, Notch's less than heartwarming last day in the office, and Mojang's final days of independence. His whole life, all Markus Persson wanted to do was create his own games. Create his own games and get rich. Then in 2009 a strange little project of his quickly grew into a worldwide phenomenon and, in just a few short years, turned its maker into an international icon.Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus Notch Persson and the Game that Changed Everything is a Cinderella story for the Internet age—improbable success, fast money, and the power of digital technology to shake up a rock-solid industry. It's a story about being lost and finding your way, of breaking the rules and swimming against the current. It's about how the indie gaming scene rattled the foundations of corporate empires. But, above all, this is the story of how a creative genius chased down a crazy dream: the evolution of a shy amateur programmer into a video game god.

Business & Industry Editorial Review
The Minecraft, Second Edition book provides a thorough look into the life of Markus Notch Persson, the creator of Minecraft. It covers his childhood and his journey with the game until he left Mojang in 2014. The book caters to those who have a nostalgic connection to Minecraft's early days as well as those who are unfamiliar with the game's popularity. One of the main issues with the book is its struggle to identify its target audience. It seems to be written for individuals who have never heard of Minecraft or video games in general, which may not resonate with avid fans of the game who would typically be interested in reading a biography about Notch. This tone is a hindrance throughout the book, as it Consistently explains concepts that the intended audience would already be familiar with. Additionally, some chapters veer off in directions that are only tangentially related to the main biography, which can distract from the overall narrative. The sources page also lacks substantial information, often listing vague references like "conversation with markus" or "youtube video, you can search for it." Although the book was published in 2013 and may not cover recent developments in the Minecraft world, it still provides insightful information about Persson's life. It is an interesting read, although it has room for improvement.
