Age of Video Games: A Graphic History of Gaming from Pong to VR and Beyond | Jean Zeid

so-so

This didn't really click for me. The author and illustrator act as guides through the history of video games with a random robot thing, but there is little introduction to these people. There is a loose thread they follow, but it jumps around a lot in the timeline and between topics. A lot of the jokes and banter between the guides fall flat. I can see what they were going for, and there is some interesting information, but overall it didn't work.
