Nerds 2.0.1: A Brief History of the Internet by Stephen Segaller
"The US Festival back in the mid-'80s was one of the largest and best rock festivals ever staged - extremely well run, and we got paid a small fortune. Steve Wozniak funded it largely out of his own pocket. He had just sold a bunch of Apple stock, and it was like a big party. We thought of him as this cool benefactor, and I didn't know anything about how he started until I read this book. I just knew how he ended up, which is as a fun-loving rich guy."

Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
"In Xenocide, Card shows that a species survives only by exterminating its rivals, but that all species have a right to exist. I'm after the same idea in the game I've been working on: Here's an enemy character who opposes all that you represent, but you still feel for him. You think twice before sticking a knife in his back. In Hollywood now, ever since Reservoir Dogs, movies empathize more with bad guys. It's an interesting change. It's difficult to find a good adversary."
