5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for folks interested in the Demoscene 9 Nov 2005
By David Valentine - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is by the demoscene, for the demoscene. While it's not the first book to mention the demoscene - it's the first to properly attempt to document the roots and destination of this cultural phenomenon.

The book is of impressive quality, full colour and well bound. Some grammatical errors must be ignored, but that's a minor complaint.

In our time, this book is the best book ever created about the demoscene. It may not be perfect... however nothing else has ever come as close. Without a doubt... this is a book I'll be putting away for safekeeping. Perhaps one day, I'll be passing it along to a grandchild... in the hopes that they may gain some insight into our moment, our era, and our common culture as sceners. It's well worth the investment.

For those unaware of the demoscene - do some internet searching. If you are interested - BUY THE BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome 7 Oct 2005
By Tony Hasselbacher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I got this book. .and I was very suprised, that it is actually a very Brilliant book on the Demo scene (first volume covers C64 and Amiga - with PC and the rest in Volume 2).

I could not put the book down, and it covers scenes outside of Europe (ie, America, Australia, Middle East, etc..).

It is very well researched and written.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in computer arts.

Oh the memories. so many memories come flooding back.

Cant wait till Volume 2 + 3
