Masters of Doom is the amazing true story of the Lennon and McCartney of video games: John Carmack and John Romero.

Together, they ruled big business. They transformed popular culture. And they provoked a national controversy. More than anything, they lived a unique and rollicking American Dream, escaping the broken homes of their youth to produce the most notoriously successful game franchises in history Doom and Quake - until the games they made tore them apart.

This is a story of friendship and betrayal, commerce and artistry a powerful and compassionate account of what it's like to be young, driven, and wildly creative.
