Minecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus 'Notch' Persson and the Game that Changed Everything - Hardcover

'The absorbing story of how an unknown and bored Swedish computer programmer invented the 'virtual lego game'; Minecraft in his spare time and became a multi-millionaire.' -- The Bookseller

A few years ago, 32-year-old Markus Persson of Stockholm was an unknown and bored computer programmer. Today, he is a multi-millionaire international icon. Here, the creator of Minecraft opens up for the first time about his life. About his old Lego-filled desk at school. About the first computer his father brought home one day. But also about growing up in a family marked by drug abuse and conflict. But above all, it is the story of the fine line between seeming misfit and creative madman, and the birth of a true tech visionary.
