In 2011, Markus Persson was a bored IT-developer in Stockholm. In
the evenings, he toiled away on a labour of love: a game with a
tiny but dedicated online following. It was called Minecraft and
Markus released it to the world in early 2009. The game itself
looks deceptively simple. It resembles a digital version of Lego -
bricks stacked on top of each other, giving players a world where
they build whatever structures their mind can conjure. A breath of
fresh air compared to the industry giants' shooter games. In the
space of a few years, Minecraft has become one of the most
astonishing success stories of the internet age, attracting
millions of players and proving how a single great idea can topple
empires in the digital, post-industrial world. This is the story of
the man behind the game. Here Markus opens up for the first time
about his life. About his old Lego-filled desk at school, the first
computer his father brought home one day and 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 tech visionary.
