From the award-winning video game writer of such hits as Star Wars
Battlefront and BioShock comes an exclusive "compelling look into a
world that doesn't like to spill its secrets to outsiders" (NPR):
the video game industry. When his satirical musings in a college
newspaper got him discharged from the Air Force, it became clear to
Walt Williams that his destiny in life was to be a writer-he just
never thought he'd end up writing video games, including some of
the biggest franchises today. A veteran video game narrative
designer, Williams pulls back the curtain on an astonishingly
profitable industry that has put its stamp on pop culture and yet
is little known to those outside its walls. As Williams walks you
through his unlikely and at times inglorious rise within one of the
world's top gaming companies, he exposes an industry abundant in
brain power and out-sized egos, but struggling to stay innovative.
Significant Zero also provides clear-eyed criticism of the
industry's addiction to violence and explains how the role of the
narrative designer is crucial for expanding the scope of video
games into more immersive and emotional experiences. Significant
Zero is a rare and illuminating look inside "the video gaming
industry in all its lucrative shine and questionable
morality...[and] provides a refreshing and realistic portrayal of
succeeding at attaining a dream via an unforeseen career
trajectory" (Booklist).
