Three years ago, 32-year-old Markus "Notch" Persson of Stockholm was an unknown and bored computer programmer. Today, he is a multi-millionaire international icon. Minecraft, the "virtual Lego" game Markus crafted in his free time, has become one of the most talked about activities since Tetris. Talked about by tens of millions of people, in fact.It is the story of unlikely success, fast money, and the power of digital technology to rattle an empire. And it is about creation, exclusion, and the feeling of not fitting in.
Here Markus opens up for the first time about his life. About his old Lego-filled desk at school. About the first computer his father brought home one day. But also about growing up in a family marked by drug abuse and conflict.
But above all it is the story of the fine line between seeming misfit and creative madman, and the birth of a tech visionary. Minecraft The Unlikely Tale of Markus "Notch" Persson and the Game that Changed Everything is a Cinderella story for the Internet age.

"Great read. Notch has an interesting history precluding the release of Minecraft which I didn't know before. This book tracks it all, from his childhood in suburban Sweden playing 'Dungeon Keeper' and programming his own games, a drug-addled sister and the death of his father, how Mojang rose from small indie start-up to a multi-million dollar company, and everything in between. A recommended read for any Minecraft fan; so long as you can get it for the right price."

Minecraft The Unlikely Tale of Markus 'Notch' Persson and the Game that Changed Everything Audible Audio Edition Jennifer Hawkins translator Linus Larsson Daniel Goldberg Jonathan Davis Audible Studios Books Reviews
- This is how you get your minecraft crazy kid to read a book. My son loves this game and he is now engrossed in this book. The bonus is now he knows what big words like protagonist means. Two thumbs up!
- The story truly tells the tale about minecraft and how it has turned into something really big. While reading, it made me remember the first time I stubble upon minecraft and bought it. It made feel like I was going through a portal, rewinding all the way back into 2009 when I was younger, bringing back great memories.
Just all the points in the story were perfect it was like looking at the minecraft forums and scrolling down and seeing the achievements that minecraft has done.
Its amazing that game started by notch , that I played for hours, was never suppose to be this big and trust me I would have never thought it would blow up into something big like it did.
But not only is this about the game itself it talks about how the company mojang was small and then grew into a dominating game community.
The story is wonderful for all ages it really brings a experience to such a big icon to childern and adults to understand what it is all about. - I bought this for my 2nd grader's biography book report, but this book isn't for children. It might be an excellent read but the way it is written is very mature and the subject matter covered is most definitely adult in nature. I worried that I was over reacting, so I sent it to his teacher to peruse, and she agreed and said that if it was her son, she would say no. It's just too mature. He could have gotten through it, but likely wouldn't have retained much, except for the things I don't really want him retaining. Lol There is talk of drug abuse and suicide and the "f" word is in the book at least once.
- Joel Waldeck's review was made as part of a critical review assignment for the Fall 2015 Economics of Entrepreneurship seminar at the University of Nebraska Omaha, taught by Art Diamond. (The course syllabus stated that part of the critical review assignment consisted of the making of a video recording of the review, and the posting of the review to .)
- Chances are you have played the huge sensation Minecraft. If you haven't, then chances are you won't like this book, so don't read any further.
This book tells you of the life of Minecraft's creator, Notch. You read about the hard times he has gone through, from his child hood, to today. It's very well written, and will definitely keep you interested. Now I've read some of the reviews on this book saying it's great for kids. I HIGHLY stress against letting kids read it as some of the language it uses isn't exactly appropriate, some of the situations are also not necessarily appropriate for kids.
It's a biography, and chances are if you like the person, you'll like the book.
4/5 - Half biography of Markus "Notch" Persson, half behind the scenes look at the history of the indie mega-hit -- as you would expect, the two stories are inherently intertwined. Overall, it's a great personal story and if you've been wondering how the game came to be and what the fuss is all about, then this book offers a nice perspective.
Minecraft is an inspiration to indie game developers all over the world, and I was hoping to see more analysis on what made the game successful and lessons learned. Unfortunately, while this book provides the background, it doesn't really address these questions. Minecraft remains an enigma. - Classic story of an indie game developer who makes it big, and the inevitable conflict that results from his disdain for business, handling the sudden riches etc. Enjoyed reading despite not being a Minecraft player. It's a short book, but the amount of detail is enough to help you understand the motivation of all those involved, without boring you with too much detail.
- Great read. Notch has an interesting history precluding the release of Minecraft which I didn't know before. This book tracks it all, from his childhood in suburban Sweden playing 'Dungeon Keeper' and programming his own games, a drug-addled sister and the death of his father, how Mojang rose from small indie start-up to a multi-million dollar company, and everything in between. A recommended read for any Minecraft fan; so long as you can get it for the right price.
