"For me, revisiting the beautiful artwork presented in this book is almostas good as taking a trip in Doc Brown's time machine back to that halcyon era atthe dawn of the digital age. But be warned, viewing these images may leave youwith an overwhelming desire to revisit the ancient pixelated battlefields theyeach depict as well." -- from the Foreword by Ernest Cline, author of READYPLAYER ONE
