Tangent: the novel "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin is a well-written book about a fictional video game studio. I'm not a game designer but it went into a fair amount of detail and seemed pretty authentic. Curious if others here have read it and can comment.

Game developer here. Read Zevin's book. As expected, some parts are spot on, some are wildly off, but within the industry there is also a wide range of experiences.

If you want to learn more about actual game development stories, I recommend Blood, Sweat, and Pixels:

Thanks! Added to reading list.

Another similar novel which I liked is Austin Grossman's You (bad title, I know), also about a fictional game studio in the 1980s and 1990s.

Cool, thanks, will check it out.
