Game Histories

"A detailed history about the early years and drama of TSR, Inc., the company that founded Dungeons and Dragons"--

Discover the colorful history of the table-top RPG phenomenon, Dungeons &amp; Dragons, as a D&amp;D expert examines its surprising successes, setbacks, and controversies. “The battle over Dungeons &amp; Dragons was the ultimate geek war.” —Wired When Dungeons &amp; Dragons was first released to a small hobby community, it hardly seemed destined for mainstream success—and yet this arcane tabletop role-playing game became an unlikely pop culture phenomenon. In Game Wizards, Jon Peterson chronicles the rise of Dungeons &amp; Dragons from hobbyist pastime to mass market sensation, from the initial collaboration to the later feud of its creators, Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. Inside you’ll learn about: • Gygax and Arneson’s first meeting and their work toward the 1974 release •&nbsp;The founding of TSR and its growth as a company •&nbsp;Arneson’s acrimonious departure and subsequent challenges to TSR •&nbsp;"Satanic Panic" accusations that plagued D&amp;D—and boosted its popularity •&nbsp;TSR’s reckless expansion and near-fatal corporate infighting •&nbsp;And much more! With Game Wizards, Peterson restores historical particulars long obscured by competing narratives spun by the one-time partners. That record amply demonstrates how the turbulent experience of creating something as momentous as Dungeons &amp; Dragons can make people remember things a bit differently from the way they actually happened.

The Foolproof Plan to Turn Your Idea into Income and Change Your Life

Girl, Start That Business!

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

Hyper-Helpful Scripts for Every Situation

The Secret Language of Work

From the author of&nbsp;A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at the world of cryptocurrencies, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a multi-trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are alienated by an economic system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Enter&nbsp;Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she exposes the dangerous consequences of crypto's rise and offers alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually be.

Your Individual Empire

Start-Up Confessions is the hilarious and unashamedly frank story of the founding and funding of one of the UK's most successful start-ups. Opening up about both ambition and frequent failure, co-founder and serial entrepreneur Gauthier van Malderen argues that progress in start-ups is in moving from one failure to the next as fast and as cheaply as possible 'learning fast enough not to repeat the truly expensive mistakes'. But this story of a company's growth is also an accessible and practical guide to founding and running your own business. It offers essential advice on fundraising and pitching to investors and hiring key staff, shows how to manage status, salaries and expectations as you move from a few people in a room to a thriving business. And it shows you how to scale the structure, how to work with the board and how to establish a thriving company culture without losing your soul.
