21 February 1989. Three men fly into Moscow, representing software
giants from Britain, America, and Japan. Each of them is determined
to undercut the others in order to secure a technology so
powerfully addictive it has brought the government department that
created it to a standstill. In a country on the brink of seismic
change, where spycraft is about to give way to cut-throat
capitalism, Tetris has become the grand prize. Featuring
corporate espionage, unmarked government organizations, courtroom
drama and international conspiracies, the origin of the world’s
most popular video game is a gripping, fast-paced thriller of the
highest order. Not only this, but it is also the tale of a
one-in-a-million software start-up – a unique example of an idea,
a product, and an era coming together at exactly the right moment.
Tetris was perfectly (if accidentally) crafted to hit primal
triggers in our minds and in Ackerman’s hands its story is
unputdownable.
