520    "A deep, nostalgic dive into the advent of gaming, Easy to
       Learn, Difficult to Master returns us to the emerging 
       culture of Silicon Valley. At the center of this graphic 
       history, dynamically drawn in colors inspired by old 
       computer screens, is the epic feud that rages between 
       Atari founder Nolan Bushnell and inventor Ralph Baer for 
       the title of "father of the video game." While Baer, a 
       Jewish immigrant whose family fled Germany for America, 
       developed the first TV video-game console and ping-pong 
       game in the 1960s, Bushnell, a self-taught whiz kid from 
       Utah, put out Atari's pioneering table-tennis arcade game,
       Pong, in 1972. Thus, a prolonged battle began over who 
       truly spearheaded the multibillion-dollar gaming industry,
       and around it a sweeping narrative about invention, 
       inspiration, and the seeds of digital revolution"--Back
