I got my hands on an advance copy of 'The Age of Video Games: A Graphic History of Gaming from Pong to VR and Beyond' (big thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing), written by journalist Jean Zeid and illustrated by Émilie Rouge, a graphic novel that sets out to cover the long history of video games as a medium. As someone who has been fascinated by games since the age of 5, I found the concept extremely interesting, and having read the entire thing I can say that the book certainly did not disappoint.

The book is expected to be published on July 22, 2025.
