Overview
February 21, 1989. A self-made software magnate with a street hustler's flair, the privileged son of a hard-charging media mogul and a globe-trotting game programmer land in Moscow within hours of each other. Their goal? To undercut one another and strike a deal with the Soviets for the most lucrative piece of intellectual property to ever escape from behind the Iron Curtain - the rights to the game Tetris. Technology reporter Dan Ackerman brings us the gripping tale behind a game so addictive that scientists termed it the world's first 'pharmatronic'. Combining elements of a fast-paced Cold War thriller with corporate espionage, courtroom drama and international conspiracies, 'The Tetris Effect' is also the story of a one-in-a-million software startup, a unique example of an idea, a product, and an era coming together at exactly the right moment.
