Book cover for Nolan Bushnell: Le Premier Boss du Jeu Vidéo by Guillaume Montagnon, featuring a black-and-white photo of a man in a shirt and tie smoking a pipe. He wears mirrored sunglasses displaying a rainbow gradient and pixel-style numbers "10" and "9", reminiscent of a retro Pong scoreboard. The title is in a futuristic gradient font, with the subtitle translating to “The First Boss of Video Games.” The official biography of Atari’s co-founder and Steve Jobs’s first boss. A key figure in the video game industry, Nolan Bushnell is the mind behind Pong and co-founder of the iconic company Atari. He pioneered a bold “start-up” spirit and gave a young Steve Jobs his very first job—while continuing to launch new companies throughout his remarkable career. From Computer Space to Pong, Breakout, and the Atari VCS, this official biography traces the extraordinary story of this visionary computer engineer and trailblazer of the video game world. Includes numerous exclusive interviews.
