Masters of Doom is a book that no FPS fan should pass up when it hits bookstores. It chronicles the friendship and eventual falling out between Doom and Quake creators John Carmack and John Romero. They helped shape modern pop culture, certainly within the gaming world, but well beyond it as well. They also managed to spark a national controversy; a claim that not many people can make. The book is already garnering praise, and not just from the gaming community:

"Masters of Doom tells the compelling story of the decade-long showdown between gaming's own real-life dynamic duo, played high above the corridors of Doom in the meta-game of industry and innovation. With the narrative passion of a true aficionado, Kushner reminds us that the Internet was not created to manage stock portfolios but to serve as the ultimate networked entertainment platform. It's all just a game." -Douglas Rushkoff, author of Coercion, Ecstasy Club, and Nothing Sacred

Master of Doom will go on sale this May for $24.95.
