That was a fantastic read. It pretty much defined my standard for an engineering work ethic. There are other books he played a prominent role in that I enjoined. Dungeons and Dreamers was a side by side story and contrast between Carmack and Id's path vs Richard Garriot and Origin Systems. The History of the Future features a much older John Carmack at the top of the industry, joining Palmer Lucky and a team of young entrepreneurs to build Oculus and VR. The entrepreneurial and technical ride is at least as wild as the one in Masters of Doom.
